Going to buy it for $14k, it has 78k on the clock right now. It has been in a minor accident, but it was repaired and has a clean title, I test drove the car already and it is pretty immaculate. Has a clear bra on the whole front end, brand new megan racing coilovers, new soft top, oem lip kit. Is this a good deal or should I shop around some more?

 

I'd try to get him to drop to 12. 78k is a few miles for 14k

 

You can do better if it's been in an accident.

 

Actually not a bad price. Counting for the new soft top especially. I'm pretty sure you can work him down a little bit but considering all the new parts you mentioned it won't be much. Mileage is a little high for an 04, just hope it was mostly highway. For better comfort, get a compression/leakdown test to be sure everything is in proper order.

 

Thats too much.
To me that car is worth $12K but a decent buy at $13K.

 

Too much. I paid $1k more for a car without mods and 60k less on the clock, plus no accident, same year.

 

I talked a dealer down to $14,800 for an 04' Berlina Black with 14,000 miles. They had a sticker of $17,900...You can do better, they're desperate to sell these days cause of the economy. You just have to know how to haggle.

 

No

 

from your sig and the craigslist posting, looks like you bought it.
congrats! pics time!

 

Yeah, if its a private seller, you definitely pay less than that. If its a dealer, try and work in a extended warranty package of some sort.
