How are the rims, top and interior/seats? Maintenance records? Any dealer warranty? On a no trade-in deal, they have room to go lower on price. Hard to say how low without seeing car's exterior condition.

Agreed on $15k last night which was high but fair. I can tell it wasn't in an accident and everything else checked out ok. I found 4 so far with clean car faxes but visible repainting, overspray in the air vents, off bumpers, misaligned trunks, etc.

I told them I just wanted a mechanic to double check everything today and if he ok'd it, i'd buy the car. Today, i call to confirm an appointment at 6 pm and the car is apparently on a lift cause the "clutch went out" after a test drive this morning. They installed a new clutch but claimed there was no break in period for clutches. I said no thank you, i'm no longer interested. Sales person texts me after bragging that he sold the car for $17900 without a test drive.


YEA NEVER DEAL WITH EDISON NISSAN IN EDISON NJ. I'd let it go but he had to be an asshole and text me. Back to searching.

2004 w/ 120k miles for $11000 w/ Tracy exhaust. Is it worth it? I plan on selling the exhaust if that helps. Stock engine, lowered on springs.

What would you guys say a red 00 with 38k miles is worth.
Texas car so the underbody is spotless, and it has the original soft top with no cracks or tears.

damn red with only 38k. I would pay good money for that. If that was my car I would start at 20k and then see what offers I would get. I would say haggled down to 18

I definitely think you can get lower. Its a 2000. You can find 02+ or AP2s for 18-19k with that mileage.
