Thanks Guys

I think I will go for a test drive to see what it's like and get a feel for it.

If I like the car and they have records showing the IMS and Rms have been done then I'm hearing it might be worth looking at it further,

or waiting and seeing if there might be a better deal further into the winter.

(on a side note I called Pfaff the other day and they don't do PPI any more! What the heck?)

What do you think a very good price would be if the car shapes up to what it should be?

Any idea how much on average it costs to do the IMS & RMC?

Thanks for the help guys.

Cheer! Bart

Find a good independant shop to do the PPI. Much much more cost effective and more than likely will do a more thorough job. Someone on here probably knows a place in the area....

For Comparrison

That price sounds high, even for a dealer. Even if you can verify a solid maintenance history, IMO it is +/- $10,000 car in So Cal.

I drove this car several months ago and it is still available.

It seems to be a buyers market in southern California.

Private Party was at $10,500 then. It was my second choice.

What does it Blue Book at for your area? I suggest making a "reasonably low" offer and let them counter. A PPI will help you justify any decrease in your offer. Are they apt to sit on this until spring?

Good luck
