Default Good Deal on GS3?

Hey,

Think I finally found a GS I want.

http://sunflowers.vflyer.com/1/index.html

Car is mint. Only a bumper scratch. Not anything big to me. I got him down to $9300.

Think I should go for it?

Mike

The car looks clean, but make sure you get a carfax report, and make sure all maintenance has been done. 60k service and 90k service. If so, then you got yourself a DEAL!!!

well I emailed the guy and he gave me the VIN number

Also he said that there was a 90k tuneup and tires/brakes done at 85k. And the battery is 1.5 years good. sounds like a keeper =]...

EDIT:
Just checked out the VIN..everything checks out extra clean.

Sounds like a clean car. Just make sure you replace the balljoints when you get it
