Default TX too

I bought mine in Austin a month ago....perfect condition. $7,000. If you buy a car cash then you need to shoot for a wholsale value for a good deal. Even in perfect condition I wouldn't pay more than a little more than if the owner traded the car in. I work for a bank and we go by NADA for car values. If you look at kelly blue book shoot for tradin to private seller value.

Within 48-hours of buying my car it was smahed by a old lady. Had it been totaled out I would have broke even...

Just My 2 cents.

Car is not a good deal. Wheels are ugly. There are a lot better deals out there. Deal with the Buick until you find something that you just fall in love with.

I wouldn't pay more than $7500 for that car.

Keep shopping man,

i'm leaning toward buying Sha's....I like the supra seats, it's priced right and seems well maintained

I would looove to be able to have this one shipped down here though:

those are the kind of prices i'm running into as well, maybe not that bad, but when they are low the interior is shredded or something else...

my opinion without reading other ppls opinion is that 10k for that car is high.

i got my 92sc400 one owner 68000miles for $7500-8500. carfaxed and was clean.

kbb price for my car was at $8000-8500. it was a private party sale.

considering the car u see is at a dealer lot it is not uncommon for a dealer to mark up the price by $3000-4000 but still i would say its kinda expensive. its a 12+ year old car. would u really want to pay over $10k for something like that old?

if u are willing to pay $10k and need a reliable car i would reccommend looking for an accord or something.

I don’t think it’s a good deal you can buy something newer with 10K. the color looks good and the rims

I bought my 94' SC300 with 65K

no ebay referral links pls
