Got a local deal after weeks of finding a good one online , what do you guys think?

2001 s2000
NFR
61k miles
2nd owner( only used 4k miles then deployed to korea , first owner was under corporate lease vehicle( what carfax said)
super stock with just aem cold intake
no grind on tranny
stock everything else
just ok top with no tear and blemishes
and after much haggling from 16k , i got it at $14k

hope to get delivery of the car on wednesday and post some pictures

 

Sounds like one heck of a deal.

 

does it? cause i saw other spa yellow with new tires and all goin for 15k .

he he he oh well i got it already anyhow , as long as u guys think its worth it so i dont feel so bad about spending the money =)

 

congrats

good year and good color

great deal, i grabbed mine with 52k miles for ~16

 

man at least that is 9k miles less than mine *shy*

i hope car fax aint cheating me about the no accident and all cause i saw the car still has all the orignal vin sticker on it.

btw guys do u know what is a corporate lease vehicle? is it something like a company use th emoney to buy a car to evade tax?

btw: i notice i'm always a guest , how only i can be a member?

 

Congrats J!

To change form guest to member i believe you have to edit your account and make it an owners accound instead of a measly enthusiast like me. Then you will need to enter the vehicle color and trim color as well . I could be mistaken though.

 

Thanks a lot whiteknight , i'm excited to take delivery of the car. can't wait

i didnt get to perform a leakdown or comp test on it though cause i brought a wrong allen key *hits head*

i just started it , and it didnt have problem starting up , no smoke on idle. and during my test drive i pull it up to 9k without any bogging issues or smoke coming out.

do u guys still think i should get a check up just to be sure?

 

hi guys , just a quick question . im goin to buy the s200 with a loan but the thing is the seller has a lien on the car as well. luckily he is in kansas still. but I dont know how the procedures goes like

my bank officer told me that I need a copy of their registration and written pay off. then what happens?

and since its a private sale can I i write a lower price on the title than what i bought it for to get less tax charged to it or the DMV already know the amount?

p/s: what are the procedures so he is sure to be safe for the transaction cause the bank officer is scaring him to tell him avoid private sales and go with dealers


thanks a lot guys

 

I should be his job to pay off the lien that he owes. He should have the title in hand and the lender's company name will be at the bottom right of the title page if im not mistaken. When the both of you sign the back and enter the amount that you paid for it, then him paying off the loan is his problem. Im in Oklahoma and I believe that the way it goes. It may not and I may just be a blabbering idiot. Then it could vary form state to state and whatnot. As far as what price to write on the back, I suggest being honest. Lady Karma has a way of coming back and biting you on the A$$.
