Carfax it, check it over very well. If it's a good distance from you, order an inspection. They usually cost about 100 bux. It saved me from making a big mistake when I was shopping

have you seen the car in person or is it an autotrader car? When I was looking there were a couple of silverstones that were on autotrader and were complete scams. I would send emails to an address, it would come back from a different. All of the responses seemed like pre-written responses (they would try to answer any and every question you may have asked). I would call the # on autotrader and it would be disconnected. I would google the # and it would come back as a # on the complete other side of the US as the seller was advertising.

That deal seems REALLY good I would either look for it to be a salvage title or a scam. If not go for it because that is CHEAP!

That is an unreal price. Check it over first, I too saw a few silverstones that were complete scams.

That is a very good deal, although like others have mentioned I would definitely get it carfaxed. I recently picked up an 05 with 41k miles for 13k so the deals are out there.

i don't trust carfax....it's easy to have an accident, fix it, and not have it reported

i would rather take it to a mechanic you trust, or a dealership you trust, and pay for a through inspection
