2004 possible purchase
#31
Oh yeah, low pressure light was on, all tires looked fine so maybe it was a sensor. I'll have them check if I decide to buy. They have no haggle pricing so they won't come off the price at all. They are pretty easy to deal with, I've bought a car from them before but basically the price is the price. So it's either worth it as is or not. I'm not sure. Its nice but...I couldn't quite pull the trigger.
Once you bring it home just do what's outlined in this thread to "fix" the "pressure sensor"...

Looks pretty good. How long has it been for sale? You can always make a lower offer. Seems appropriate since the TB hasn't been done. Age of tires? Depending on brand, marked on tire? I don't know. I bought an 01. Michelins looked good but they were old. Rubber hardens. When I bought new tires, ride was immediately a lot more luxurious.

They may be no haggle but that doesn't mean you can't. Everything you mentioned is something that needs to be addressed.

Its been on their site for awhile. The window sticker says 14995, I think I originally saw it posted online for 12,995 and didn't give it a second look. Then maybe two weeks ago it dropped to 11,995. Funny thing is I thought about calling on it, then it went back up to 12,995 on Monday and I said screw that, then back to 11,995 yesterday so I called to check it out. Nice car but...I'll keep looking. I really didn't want to spend that much and it should be fully operational with no issues at that price I feel.

Good deal also for higher milage and a color combo I really like. Edit: shows a accident

Hey mykvr6, hope you are doing OK with the storm, I don't know what part of the city you live in. I used to live in the West University area, it looked in pretty bad shape. I don't know if you purchased a car last week or not or are still looking.
Theres gonna be a large influx of flooded cars from this point forward. I actually personally bought my GS in January as a flood car which was in the West Virgina flood last year. Its all good now, but I don't know if I would recommend it because its a huge cointoss, even though I did buy it for half the normal price.
If you are still looking for something I'd probably look outside of Houston/South Texas area right now, maybe something in Dallas. If you didn't purchase one of the ones you looked at theres a good chance they are flooded now. Stay safe bro.

yeah. I had two I wanted to look at on Friday and of course that didn't happen. Who knows what happened to either one. We are safe where I'm at but the whole city is a mess.
