By the way, $13,500 is a good price, make it a great price at $13,000 (Pull the, it's Winter time and RWD, bad for cold weather), depending on your location
I am in Austin and the weather is getting better everyday ... ... so I can't play that trick I guess

BTW for people who prefer less miles, urs is a great deal

I was looking to buy this one too. I'm in San Antonio. I spoke with the guy to set something up for this week but I came across a good deal for way cheaper but of course it isn't as nice and new as that red one, that's a great deal. And what I heard from the guy I'm almost positive he'll let it walk for 13k so jump on it!

I run the VIN through Carfax and Autocheck... the car was involved in an accident(Police Report COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE). The owner said he is not aware of this either ... he never run the VIN through Carfax or Autocheck since he bought the car from CARMAX in 2004 ... What should I do now ?

This is what the reports say...

Carfax: Accident reported involving rear impact
Autocheck: Police Report COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE (Case #:03XXXXXXX)

How badly does this affect the resale value of the car ?

The title is clean so although he said he'll reduce the price I don't think he'll accept a $2k cut from the previous price

Looking at an '06 Silver with black and red interior, clean carfax (will inspect thoroughly anyways). 116,000 miles, two owner car, first owner put most of the miles on the car (113,000). Very clean and well maintained. Seller is asking $12,000.


Seems like a fair price to me. Any comments or suggestions?

Excellent price for an 06+ as long as you are comfortable with the mileage. The only question I'd have aside from the normal maintenance records would be why the second owner "only" had it for 13k miles (not that 13k is a short amount of time, especially if it's a second/weekend car--I'd just want to see if I could find a reason it's being sold).

Hey Guys. Just wanted to get your opinion on whether or not I overpaid for my s. I got it from a local honda dealership about a month and a half ago. Its a 2004 with 18.6k miles and its almost flawless. I paid $19.5k, but theres still taxes and interest. What do you think?
