Dang you're just barely too late. One of my friends was looking for this kind of car like a month ago

I'm Krallum and I approved this message

Is that a music keg in the trunk?

2/2/2012 8:04:16 PM

$5k

2/2/2012 8:53:24 PM

^^Yeah something like that. I never used it to be honest, but its there.

"$5k"

I'm gonna bet that number represents 80%+ of the offers he's received thus far. Just like when I was selling my GTI for $17.5k every single offer (no shit) that came in was $15k. It's like there's a lowball formula somewhere...

2/2/2012 9:59:40 PM

^Havent gotten any that low, but I have gotten a few "Will you take $6000 CASH".

2/3/2012 8:37:01 AM

Will you take 6k cash?


I really have a 6k check that the mailman will be bringing me today.

2/3/2012 8:55:01 AM

^I wish I had a mailman that generous

2/3/2012 11:50:52 AM

It would help if you put the specs in kbb.com and post the link so we can see some sort of value placed on the car other than what you saying that you want.

2/3/2012 12:05:08 PM

Can you PM me the VIN? I need it for a financing quote.

NVM, it went through without.

NADA is a little high, KBB is a little low and Edmunds is really low. So you get NADA

The OP covers all of the options...except for sport package (but you could guess that based on the 17" wheels). plus he states the $8800 NADA estimate in the CL ad.

2/3/2012 1:23:44 PM

Were is the private sale price listed?

2/3/2012 1:33:15 PM

Does NADA have such a thing? All I see is "Clean Retail"

KBB private party looks like ~$8600

2/3/2012 1:46:09 PM

I am 'sorta' in the market for a new and I'd rather deal in a private sell versus a dealer. But I am not sure about the maintenance on this car, in terms of how much it would cost for parts, and if I am able to do routine tune-ups without having to take the car apart or something ridiculous like that. The latter is the first thing that really determines if I will purchase a vehicle.

2/3/2012 2:16:57 PM

Have you ever worked on cars before?
Have a decent set of tools?

If you're so inclined, you can do most routine maintenance + many fixes with some tools + a Chiltons/Haynes manual for the car...then go to the garage section when you don't have the skills/equipment/knowledge to complete a job.

2/3/2012 3:05:39 PM

I've ridden in this vehicle before. Very clean car. Buyer will not be disappointed. A+++ seller.

lol, I realized after posting someone might think this as sarcastic, but I'm definitely serious.

[Edited on February 3, 2012 at 8:03 PM. Reason : damn flu got me not thinking left right.]

2/3/2012 8:02:44 PM

I'd drop 6K+ ob this car, but not over 7k.

2/4/2012 6:28:42 PM

$6500?

2/4/2012 8:21:33 PM

Sold for $7000 tonight, thanks to all who were interested.

2/4/2012 9:32:32 PM

gg with the quick sale

2/4/2012 10:04:22 PM

OMG A DOG

2/4/2012 10:19:50 PM

^Haha, she wanted to jump in so badly. I wouldnt let her on the leather.

2/4/2012 10:43:50 PM

Dammit, I got my shit approved and was actually going to offer more than that.

Also gg on the quick sale.

2/5/2012 11:31:56 PM

Yeah, I figured by taking $7000 so fast I'd probably pass by some better offers. Sorry buddy
