Found this surfing today. If anyone Looking for one. No ITs NOT My Car

2001 AE, 23K miles, 5spd, for $23,9xx

 

GOOD PRICE?????? HUH????

 

That's not a good price

 

Condisdering the car was $32K new, thats a good price, and the way I shop, I take 3K right off the sticker. so this car for 20-21K is still a good price to be loaded.

 

Well, it's nice that you can assume that you'll get $3000 off the sticker. You don't know that though, so it's a bit early so say "good price".

And Kelly Blue Book is what rules the world. Not what the original MSRP is. Asking price on that car shouldn't be any higher than $22,000. Especially since 2K2s have a bigger engine. I wouldn't pay anything over $19,000 for that car.

 

That's also a lot of miles to be put on in one year. I know it's dependent on driving regiment and conditions, but I have a 2K and I don't even have that many miles on my car.

 

Kelly Blue book is a joke, So is NADA.. IN the real world, Area/Loation drives the cars value NOT Any Books. I go to Dealer Auctions to purchase cars. Trust me, Dealers don't use NADA/KBB .. We Use the black book, which the public knows next to nothing about.


2002 May be a bigger engine for $23,000, but thats a base Car. This car is fully loaded..

Also, New govt stats for Drivers are 15,000 Miles a year, considering we are at the end of 2002 tells me this car is about right with his miles.

3000 off the sicker of this car is a fair starting price. Me, Myself, I'ld start at 19,500.. considering you can take 2500 of on a brand new car. If you can't do that, perhaps you better learn how to haggle with dealers....

You can say I deal with this stuff almost daily so I know a thing or 2 about car buying.

 

Pre-owned LOADED 2K2s will be springing up on lots very soon for around $24,000.

It sounds like we are on the same page. You first post lacked the "insight" of the negotiation and it looked as though you were calling the sticker a good price. If someone actually paid $23,500 for that car thay would be getting raped.

And I buy a lot of cars too..... KBB is a great tool to help sell your car. Edmunds is a great tool to buy one.

 

No offense, but how the heck far can you drive in Hawaii??

Even in Honolulu (actually all of Oahu), the area is 597 square miles (or an average of 20 miles x 30 miles).

I myself drive a rather modest 24 miles each way to work (so in 2 days I have driven completely around the island).

 

That's true, although, I'm sure only a handful of people commute over 50 miles one way to work each day. My dad drives about 40 miles to work and back each day, so he puts major mileage on his car, but under normal circumstances, you can't really drive that far on Oahu. The Big Island is another story though.

I didn't realize that it's up to 15,000 miles/year now. That's a lot for us. I think I have about that much on my car..hehe.

 

Got over 28K on my AE I bought back in Feb 2001. AND that is considering all the times I drove the truck to work, to run errands, to haul stuff, to take the dogs around, etc.

 

I picked up my 03/SE Tuesday afternoon around 5pm, my white five speed 01/AE/SE loaded 29k miles sold by six PM that evening, for $22,800.00! Dropped by to pick up some wheel locks and it was gone.

 

......or dealer transferred.

 

i can get a 2k3 with leather, sunroof, spoiler for 24k off the lot with taxes and all.. so this by no means is a good deal

 

I assume that would be a GLE not a SE!!! the 1000 Rebate don't apply to the 03z just yet.

All the folks here, Don't forget thats a AE... Not a washed down SE

 

I agree with PIONEER, Kbb and NADA values are a joke, they differ so much between themselves it's not even funny. Edmunds's online appraisals are also very inaccurate. Best thing is to ask the pros, such as the dealers in the Edmunds forums, or look at the black book values, which are updated much more frequently. FYI, black book values on most cars are available for free online, just have to look a bit.

 

23K = 1994 Supra TT w/ 60-70k miles

For real..the price is kinda high..The local Nissan Dealers here have brand new loaded 2k2 SE's for 24k..
