Sounds pretty resonable to me

safiline

is the warranty a big issue i should be woryy about it?!

chetrickerman

find out when he bought the car, the warranty ends 5 years from that date, and im assuming that if he took good care of it, he did all the service recalls and flashes, but i would just make sure when you buy it. check under the car to make sure everything is all good, and if you havent already, test drive it.

Resonable price. But everyone want's to pay less. Tell him $15,000 and compromise with $16,000. Sounds like a good car. I would take the VIN # to the dealer (service Dept.)and have them look up the warranty history on the car.

safiline

there is all the recordes i should check them but as he said they all about oil changing and a recall i think.

i did test drive it, Safiline Like and the car suite me very well :D i worried about that too cuz i'm skinny :S

Sounded good till I read the part that says - AUTO TRANSMISSION.

Get the 6-speed. If you cant drive stick . .. learn . . .it is worth it!!!!

chetrickerman

YES!!! you will not be sad with a 6-speed

safiline

no actually Automatic is just perfect, i know there much defferent in HP but gotta get AT cuz i have my cousin living with me and got Obstruction in one hand when he suppose to drive it with me.

so I understand that its good to go for this car?! i will try to get it lower.

chetrickerman

if you are satisfied, then go for it

$17.5k is a good price for a GT with that mileage. No need to try and screw the guy, I'd pay it and be happy. Also, if I see one more person type "ur" instead of "your", I'm going to go postal and blow up "teh intarnets". It's two more letters for God's sake...is this rocket science?

I've saw much better prices on AT 8's.


If you want an AT so bad get an 06 or better.

market price for a 2004 AT w/ 17K miles in Excellent condition is $17,685. (Kelley Blue Book)

My suggestion? Find a newer MT.

safiline

well i've looked over and over and i found MT 05 in same price or sometimes less but as i mentioned early MT doesn't work with my cousin in the other hand no one of the other 8's i have found has Nivagation system but this.

I think i'll be asking for 16k as it all i have :P

Groundrush

I just fiddled on kbb.com and with all the options you listed, including nav, I'm showing that in excellent condition, private party price is $20.5k. Edmunds is showing $19.4k. Not sure why these numbers are so far off from Valpac's above, and $19.5-20.5k sounds way high, but you might consider checking kbb and edmunds.com on your own and see what's an appropriate price to offer. Sounds like the car is loaded, so he might balk at an offer of $16k. Good luck on the purchase though!

if you have to go AT, go with a 6-speed, 6-port AT rather than a 4-port in the '04s.

Should I wear shorts or long pants today?

Make your own choice or ask your mom.

C'mon man, the kid is already confuse ... O kay go naked ....

safiline

ppl i'm really thnkfull for your help here and sharing your suggestions, if i bought the car i'm Glad to be part of RX8club :D

chetrickerman

if you have all the updates on it and check it out, if everything is good, buy it, even if it is an AT, you will be happy
