Ok, I found this 2003 s2k with 37k miles at a dealership for 14k. I found this car on auto trader and I contacted the dealer with a request for pictures and more information. Google reviews are favorable for this dealership so, it might be worth dealing with them. At a glance this seems like a good deal and I would go to check it out, but it is a 3 hour from Plano TX. to Houston.

What do you guys think?

 

I flew from VA to TN to pick up the car and drive it back 10 hours. Whats 3 hours?

 

Well, I don't know anything about the car besides its year and mileage. It could be a total scam or a salvage or something. I guess this post is pointless until I can tell you guys more about the car. Thanks for the reply though.

 

I'm in Houston; what dealer is selling the car?

 

I know what you mean, I can't imagine flying down to get a car without a close up inspection. Drive the 3 hours, check out the vin numbers on all body panels. You might have lucked out and gotten a weekend driver. This would be in my garage right now, but I'm aiming for an ap2. BTW, if you are considering the GPW at Frank Kent Honda, Tad the internet sales manager lied straight to my face when I was there. They kept denying that it was the same car from Vandergriff, then Tad even told me that it has been here for 2 months. Vandergriff's pics before it was taken down had THEIR tags on the car. Vandergriff Honda was asking 26k for it, Frank Kent jacked up the price to 278xx and wouldn't take 25k.

They seem to be rated positively on Google.

I would rather get a car from a private seller that cared about the car than a dealership, but considering their reviews, I might be willing to deal with them.

Also, Happy Holidays Every one

 

2000 Spa
210,000 kms
9,500 CAD

How's that sound? It's something I can afford, while still being able to have the car I've always wanted.

 

Thats kind of high miles er kilometers. I don't quite know what the exchange rate is exactly, so I dont know if that is a good deal or not.

The thing that I would watch out for is the year. A 02-03 might be a better year to go for because of the glass rear window.

The longer you wait, the more money you might have to buy the car you want. Good luck.

 

Dollar's almost even right now.

So basically 130,000 miles for 9000. Clean title etc.

 

Sounds ok.

I once found a 2001 GPW with 53k miles for $9600. The seller was the second owner, but the car was in really good condition. That is my benchmark deal. Nothing has come close to that. I don't think It would be worth more than 8500 unless it is in pristine condition.
