Default Anybody got a better deal?

Just bought a 2006 SB. Its truly a beautiful car! Im thinking I got a pretty good deal on it...1800 miles, from a dealer, never previously owned...$27,600.

What do y'all think?

1800 miles is quite a bit of miles for "never previously owned"

I'd say the deal is average for an '06 with almost 2k miles, considering you can probably haggle a dealer to get a brand new '07 for 30-32K with under 100 miles.

Wow. 1800 test driven miles?

That's a great deal in terms of $$ per "never previously owned" car.

But some of us wouldn't touch that particular "never previously owned" car at any cost.

Some people would rather marry an adult film star who has "never been married."
Others would rather marry a divorced woman with only one previous partner.

If you're happy, that's all that counts.

Congrats on the car!

Thats quite a bit of test driven miles. As long as its mechanically sound and you enjoy it, then sure, you got a good deal

not all of the miles were from test drives. the owner took the car home occasionally.

it does make me a little nervous as far as the car being broken in properly and idiots who dont know how to shift...but i guess thats the risk u take when buying a used car (even if barely used)

Yep, used cars are a weary path in general. Just never really know how the previous owner drove the car. But im sure youll be just fine. I bought mine used with 20k on the odo, and it runs beautifully. Just stay on top of your maintanance schedule and youll have many years of fun ahead

You can get new 07 for like $29k + tax, docs, etcs. There was one at my local dealer for a red 07 $28.9k (23 miles).

Got my 07 Laguna for $30K out the door with wheel and tire waranty, enviromental protectant, and gap insurance. So your deal is about average. You prbably could have gotten them down another 1K or so.
