Ok, story time.

This dealership is 2 hours away from me so I decided I want to come to some sort of understanding on price before I waste 4+ hours of my life driving up there. Give the guy a call, and tell him that there are a few other SC's I have checked out, and got pricing on. I said for the car to be appealing to me, we would need to be able to make a deal in the $4,500 neighborhood.

He hung up on me before I could even bring up the 90k service and condition of the tires. Needless to say I'm still looking for a clean SC lol

 

5K, tops.

Its only worth that much because its all original, so it has that going for it.

I'd probably just hold out for a lower mileage example and just pay 2 grand more.... theres so many of these cars with less than 50K on them being put up for sale every day.

 

Where is the best place to find SCs? I've been all over these classifieds, craigslist, and even zilvia from time to time. Is there anything I'm missing?

 

I go for Craigslist and on here

 

Looks like the seller is going by the kkb private seller price. As many previous post mentioned there could be many things that are needed/replaced inside and out. If you really want the Sc find everything thats needs to be fixed or replaced and deduct from the sellers total. Good Luck

Thats pretty shady for them to do that! Maybe there was a low ball offer before and thought you were the same person or maybe there was a drop call? I would of called just to see if they still have it and drove there with cash in hand. Either way if hes not willing to budge on the price they will have a difficult time selling it and may come down some with time.

Give it some time youll find your SC im sure of it

 

Thanks for all the input again guys. Finally found and purchased the right car for me. Am I a traitor? Maybe lolol

 

How much of a traitor can you be?

 

No, you gotta love the LS.

Good luck

 

I just picked up a 93 with 74k for 5k. One owner, garaged, records. A real cream puff. I would,nt sell it for 10k.

 

4000-4500 tops. they probably won't sell at that price, but you can definitely find a solid example for that range. Especially if you're willing to travel down south. Searchtempest is your friend.

 

That's my next family car probably. I keep trying to tell myself I'm gonna get an S4, or something like that, but the LS is just perfect.

 

Nice man. I paid 6500 for mine and it would take a lot more than that for me to part w/ it lol. Where in NJ are you

 

At least its an LS 4hunna

 

I'd say in the 4-5k price range. For 7k it would need to be a newer 97+ model with the same amount of miles to sound like a deal. The dealer is just asking at that price because they want someone with no or bad credit who want to throw some big wheels on it to buy it. Just be careful even if it has low mileage. If it sat, wasn't maintained well, and just have plain bad luck it could still be a lemon. Also 84k mileage on freeway mostly is nothing but 84k around town mostly is more wear on a car. Just be smart and have some money on the side. If your not good at wrenching then have even more set a side. Good luck with the buy!
