Do I Walk Away or Buy It & Fix It?

[V-Rod]

rayner@r2specracing,

I am paying $12,400. which includes the $400 3yr. Powertrain Warranty.

I am trying to get them to pickup the replacement of the coils and condensers.

I am not thinking that they will pick up the condensers but I bet they come back with an offer to take care of 5 new coils and plugs.

I have looked at a bunch, but I was specifically looking for a dark blue with tan interior. I have always preferred tan or beige interiors in all my vehicles. I even make that criteria when I rent vehicles (which I do as much as drive my own).

Why are there so few with this color combination?

Sounds like the biggest selling point for you is the color combination...and I fully understand that, you have to like looking at the car you buy. Have you hung out on this forum for a while, members do sell their cars and some of them are really nice. If you have read about doing the IMS and it seems easy then doing the coils is a piece of cake. Dropping the transmission the first time is a pretty big job, I did it. Next time would be a breeze.

How long have you been looking? On this particular car I would get a PPI for sure. The selling dealer should also agree to do the AC work or they agree to drop it by that much.

You are doing the right homework and asking the right questions. If the IMS not being changed will bother you I would keep looking and find one that has it done and spend the extra money.

Good luck!

$12K is alot for a 99 Box

As far as the color rarity, it may have been the 1st year the color was offered, so little publicity & optional paint colors start at about $800 & go to $3,000+
