About To Make An Offer On a 2000

[KevinH1990]

Thanks for the replies.

The only real price point I have for what cars sold for in this area is the 2002 with 29,000 that my friend bought for $26,000. Now that I'm thinking about it. $22,000 for a 2000 might be a little generous.

I've checked the asking prices for similar cars on Autotrader, Cars.com and Craigslist. I had to expand my search to 300-500 miles to get a good sample. Here's what I have.

2000 Black with black interior and hardtop, carbon fiber interior, 18' wheels and "special Porsche exhaust", 21,000 miles - asking $26,900

2001 Silver/black 22,100 miles, $25,900

2000 Silver/black 32,700 miles, $24,550

2000 Silver/black 23,500 miles $21,900 (This car is in Cleveland and would be difficult to retrieve.)

Maybe $21,000 is a better starting point.

I also found a few low mileage 2003's. The asking prices are above $32,500 for a low mileage non-S models. I haven't received replies from the owners, so I have not made any offers on 2003's.

Hi,

There's merit to the Addage that Money talks and Bull******************** walks. Offer $20,500, but do so in the form of a personal check. That tells the seller that you're sincere.

Then, let it ferment. You can always up the ante. The seller may not have any other offers but yours. You will always have to opportunity to increase it.

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
