Hello all, i am new to this forum so be gentle..
I have a chance to purchase a 1999 se limited, Red 5 speed.. all the trimmings... LOTS of highway miles. 47,000 Too Much??...
First comment that i was taken back by was, he never had the front breaks done...NEVER??
The backs,only pads, once. Is that normal??
Second question, what can I expect to break in the comming year?? What should i pay particular attention to on the car?
It is very clean, driven well by a 40 yr old guy... not pounded on ,, by it will be when i get it..lol
He had the presents of mind to get a 6 yr, 100k warrantee on the car so i have some room...
With all that how much would you pay?? 99 red se Limited,5 speed all options...
Thanks for your help... hope to have the car next week and join this forum as a active participant...
Peace, Bluefish...

hey
47,000 miles isnt that much. It does seem like alot for a 99. If the brakes were babied then the fronts might not have needed to be replaced. The fronts should be replaced before the rears would need to as about 80% of the braking is done in front. I dont really know how much you should pay for it. hopefully someone else can help you out on that. Id say around 16-18k?? later
