very very nice car but kinda expensive. my brother just bopught a 99 si for exactly half that price

 

do you think its worth takin out a loan for it?..i just dont want to do it and have all motor issues cuz its all hopped up. i hope to go look at it sometime next week..

 

Hmm, I dont know
Being turbocharged makes me thing that he rode it hard.
And yea that price seems a bit high.
What the blue book on it?
(and by the way, aftermarket parts don't necessarily raise the value of the car)

 

Where is that car for sale? The original owner is local, I know him, bought a bunch of parts from him actually. That car was built well and treated VERY nice when he had it, but he sold it about a year and a half ago.

 

its in new york, around gansvort i think. the guy who has it now aparently only put 1000 miles on it, like i said im hopefully gona go up sometime next week and take a look, and if hes a yoyo, then ill problay just stay away..

 

ohh, and the kbb on it is:






Excellent [/align]
$9,885
[/align]





Good [/align]
$9,225
[/align]





Fair [/align]
$8,400

 

not worth getting into debt over. You really shouldn't ever pay more than a car is worth. If you wreck it, you're out 1 car + how ever many thousands more you owe on it vs. what its worth.

Not to mention, I dont think a bank will even give you a loan for more than book value

 

mhm..yeah i know that side, i just really really like the car, its sick.

 

You may be able to talk him down a bit if you don't take the wheels/tires, but you're still going to have to find a way to get a loan on a 8 year old car
