Q1. Buy? Q2. What price is fair? Condition of car: good condition, stock, lady driven.

I would not buy a car with that many miles. What appeals to you on this vehicle? Price, brand name or what? Most cars with 175k feel well worn.

Honestly, the seller seems to be a young dealer out to make a buck. he bought it from the lady, and now hopes to sell it for kbb value. (yes, LOL) . He told me 3500 for the car, and I said 2500 final price. Now, with what you guys say, it seems that that too is too much of a price to pay. I have b…

I Wouldn’t Say That You Have Wasted A Lot Of Time Looking At Cars. From Your List And Your Stories I Think You Are Educating Yourself Rather Well, Not Wasting Time. Look at how much more you know, now. This isn’t a simple process and represents a large expediture. This time spent will hopefully pa…

Upto 6000$. I’m a graduate student doing a PhD. My ideal car would be sporty, fun, well maintained, have high predicted reliability and cheap to own. The civic si’s and acura rsxs are good here. But they get stolen. Do you think I would need insurance if I have central locking and an inverted club? …

The problem with used “tuner” type cars is that they have usually been abused and repaired with less than professional methods. And on top of it they have probably been stolen at least once in their lifetimes. If you do buy a Civic si or Acura rsx or the like, make sure that it is stock from intak…

yeah, you;re right, these cars do get stolen. I am talking to two people right now. They have a Honda Civic and a Acura RSX respectively. The Honda civic guy, has the title in hand. He says that he bought it from another guy, and then while driving it, did not like the way it felt while driving. Th…

I shy away from someone who has a car not registered to them. I once passed on a deal like that and then got a few harassing calls from the seller. Add the Ford Focus and Kia Spectra and Hyundai Elantra to the list. Sporty cars are usually driven hard, so I tend to stay away from those.

A lot of people make deals this way. It generally means that he paid almost nothing for the car and is going to double his money at least. You don’t stand much of a chance if you try bargaining with him. I call them vehicle vultures because they always lowball the seller and charge the next buyer a …

If $6k is your budget and a $2500-$3000 car suits your needs go for it if you can stash $1000-$1500 aside for a car repair fund and not touch for anything else. Nothing wrong with high mileage ownership except when the buyer leaves nothing aside in case. Good luck, manual tranny is a huge plus as a…

Hi Everybody who has helped me out. I just got off the phone with a guy who has a 1998 Honda Civic Manual 130,000 miles. Owned it since 2000. Autocheck (yes, I know we should take it with a pinch of salt) gives it a score of 88 when similiar vehicles are in the range of 22-63 points. Asking 22…
