ok so heres the deal i found a 1997 sc400 with 71,000 miles at a dealer in primo condition and all

asking price is $11,185 now original list was 14k and then dropped to the advertised price in link and then to 11,185

now i want to know is this a good buy?
i was gonna offer 9k and work up cuz tmv is like 9,500 on dealer retail

 

Looks to be in good condition do they offer some kind of warrenty?

 

9k would be a good offer, but don't go above 10. Great lookin car

 

say u give 10K but make them paint the car black!!. so it be black on black

 

ok not over 10k got it so u guys like it?...................
idk if theyll paint it black lol haha
any suggestions on negotiation or scams\
this is a nissan dealer in west covina
should i like say something like this car has been on your lot for almost 5 monts and no sale so give to me 9 lol
i was thinking of starting bid at 8 and letting them work me to nine
ummm i checked the TMV is 9,033

 

I hate to say it but Ebay is the closest thing out there to a "perfect" market where buyers and sellers can determine an item's price depending upon supply and demand. I bought my SC400 in Feb of this year and thought I got a good price.

The problem is the price of gas.

The value of my car (even with less than 50K miles) has fallen considerably in the last 6 months.

I would be very hesitant at paying anything close to what the seller is "asking" for this car. Sorry, but the market will (currently) not support the asking prices of these cars.

If I were in the market for another SC I would lowball this guy and see ...

 

Not a great deal, but not a bad deal either...always expect to pay a little more from a Dealership, but West Covina is a really cool dealership, lot of cool people there.

 

I would pass on it, better find a 98+ SC400, you will get the vvti and more hp.

 

my boss bought a 98 sc400. platinum silver on black with 70K for 7500. that asking price is insane.

dont go over high 8's

 

hey guys thanks for all the help..............
this was a really bad experience, the car jerked and idled ruff and tranny was jumpy also the check engine light was on and with all that i offered the guy 7500 and he rudely replied i wont take less then 9990 and he was jumping around in price all the time 9000, 9500, 8000.......

 

That sucks when I was searching I had gone to a few dealers in the West Covina area and most of the dealer had just wasted my time. It seems like you're willing to pay the price for a clean SC hold out until you find one that you're comfortable with. Good luck with the search.

 

yeah, just wait a bit, and a good one will turn up.
be patient....
