alright. my car is showing her age. time to do something about it. i have 207000 miles on it, runs like a horse, but body wise, eh. ive started to look around for another integra, and i found a few, and heres the one im interested in is, a 98 gs, leather, burgandy, 74000 miles, and they are asking for approx. $7900. heres the question, is this a good deal? im just having second thoughts about financing a 7 year old car. i dont know why. just want to hear some feedback.
thanks

 

7 years old ... extremely low miles.

i'd get it closer to $6500 and make a deal.

 

if it were that much, i would jump on it like a heartbeat, but honestly, i havnt checked it out yet, im going to see if i can see it tommorrow, lets see. its a dealership, btw.

 

Run a carfax on it before you even think about buying it. Dealerships are notorious for rolling back odometers.

 

take a good look at the car ... check the panel seams for smoothness, if there's an edge, it's been repainted. also, ask for the carfax on it. i'm really wondering about the miles on the car. that's really, really low.

 

yea, im definatly am going to check out the car, very closely. i dont know if its going to fall through, but my car is seriously showing signs of its age, and i want to get rid of it soon so i can get some money out of it.

 

heres the carfax on this car i was talking about

get something different. it's not your only choice.

 

bug teggys are awsome! really reliable and fun to drive, i cant drive a bmw the way i drive my teggy without having it get all screwed up and its a 99 bmw mines a 90 ls, completly stock.
go with it man, it seems good to me. try to bring that price down to 6500 like someone said above
