if u guys remember i was the one that posted about a 97 max SE with 95k being on sale for $6000/obo before....but couple of days ago when i look in local news paper i found a 99 max SE with only 23600k asking for $11000/obo...so i call the # and spoke to owner to meet up...i took a test drive and the car is in excellent condition with no dents or scratch cause it's garage kept...still have factory warranty also...the reason his selling so low is his house is almost in forecolsure and need money to make payments...i offer him 10k and he said he'll think about it...i'll keep u guys posted..

 

i think i'd rather buy a 97 for 6 then a 99 for 10... pretty much the same car

but good luck with it man!

 

Remember though he's buying 72k more miles.......

 

a car with 95k miles is not the same as a car with 23k miles

 

Save the $4000 and buy a turbo. Our motors can last.

 

I would feel guilty. $11K is more than a steal anyway.

 

I agree. If the mileage was about the same, that's a different story, then I would take the '97 hands down. In this case, I would take the '99 with less mileage. The price is good for the '97, but the mileage is just too much. Especially if you plan to keep the car for a long time.

 

thanks for all your opinions....i agree with most of u a car with 95k is not same as car with 23k....if i buy the car i'm keeping it for at least 3yrs or more...cause normally the 99 with that mileage would go for at least 13-15k...i'm waiting for answer from owner..if i do buy the car i'll have money left over for parts...like intake, exhaust, and stillen kit...

 

tranny swap?

 

you should have taken the 99 for 11K and ran.. somebody else is going to ****** it for the asking price.
good luck.. you'll love a 99.. last year 4th Genner.

 

u know what i'll give the owner a call today...if he said no than i'll take it for 11k like he ask for before someone ****** it up..good suggestion...

 

I agree if the car is as in a good of shape as you say someone else will come in and snag it at 11K. That is a hella deal for a 99 with only 23,000!

 

what color car? 5spd or auto? where is the deal located?

 

I say buy both then sell one for more.

 

BOZOnPJ, is that lambo in the picture really your car, or is that a joke?

 

2 years and 4 times the miles ?

 

Hey you have a lambo to... biter And I thought they were rare now I'm gonna have to buy an F1. GO BUY THE MAX NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE

 

10k? you offered him 10k? thats crazy talk. Offer him 8.5k or you gettin ripped off!

 

just thought i should let u guys know the guy didn't took my offer at 10k but at 10500 instead....guess we'll do transaction in a few weeks...only drawback is the color is maroon but oh well..

 

Come on! 3 years old car with only 23k miles and you offer $8500?

I thought our car worth a lot more than that...

98coupev6, it is a good deal. Color doesn't matter than much, unless you really hate that color. Otherwise you will get used to it.

 

I would get the 99...

 

what u mean 8500? i never offer that low...he wanted 11k for it but my original offer was 10k but he would take it for that low and i raise to 10500 and he took it...color is ok and i'll get used to it...guess eventually have to start building up my max...
