Other than the scuffed up rear bumper and scratches near the shifter/ash tray, can't see too much wrong with it.

 

Yeah this really isnt the place for this thread...




But that being said... despite the imperfections on the rear bumper, front bumper, middle shifter trim and the oil slathered tires, Id say its just a good price...

 

which is way ok with me. i could get the trim cheap on here im sure (cheap enough if it really was that bad)

im just trying to see if there is a catch im not picking up on, kbb says 6500 and this is nearly half that value.

 

im sorry, i didnt really know where else to put it.

and in all honesty i would probably throw some new tires on too.

 

Looks like brand new tires in the pictures

 

ok how about this.

i would not mind putting brand new tires on it if they were bad. for 4k i could spend 400 on tires.

 

haha my bad i just saw i made this in the 4th gen section and not the general / 5th gen. must of clicked the wrong link out of habit. my bad!

 

I moved it to General for you.

(To me, it looks like that car you listed has brand new tires on it already)

 

Ah, kind of hard to tell from the pictures but overall it looks good. But we'll need to have a close examination of the engine compartment and all that to check for water damage, leaks, refurbished parts, and all that good stuff.

 

Why dont u look for an 02 or 03...get the 3.5

 

maybe a typo? thats pretty cheap..

 

I was about to say "Looks like they did an 00vi swap" then realized my mistake.

Tires look pretty new. Like they were doused in an entire bottle of tire shine.

The downside - it isn't low mileage, it's in IMO an undesirable color combination, and it's got a cassette player. It's got hubcaps too, so this is pretty much the most stripped down 5th gen you can get. I'm not surprised at all that a 'loaded' 4th gen SE with black leather is probably worth more.

The radio is a little odd, as are the hubcaps. I don't recall ever seeing a 5th gen with a factory single-DIN cassette player, it looks like it may have been replaced with one out of a 4th gen. And I thought all 5th gen GXEs had the 16" 9-spoke rims, not hubcaps and steelies. IMO you should do some research on what options were available on that car, and make sure things match up. I'm sure the radio isn't a big deal, but it makes you wonder if there's anything less obvious that's been changed.

 

A stripped down 00-01 GXE did come w/ steelies. As so, I think it is what it is. Considering the year, I 'd say it has 'low' miles.

Talk about a BASE model. You still get AC & CC though

 

the whole tape deck thing will get replaced within the week with my own HU and speakers anyways, and it doesnt look to be bose so that is super duper ok with me. i kinda like the color combo, i mean it didnt stick out to me at all as being 'bad' by any stretch of the imagination. and that is def. NOT a high mileage car. its around 10k a year (assuming the car was purchased in 99)

 

Check the build date.

 

I stand corrected. I'd never seen one with steelies before, but I'm a 4th gen guy.

 

base model with mileage that high should be priced about that much. its probly got hardly any options also.

 

how is that high mileage at all?

and it has power windows/locks and ac. not much more you need

 

My 03 has 117k .. What are you people saying?
