2000 GSR sedan. White, Fully Loaded. 80k Doesn't seem fixed up.

Dealer is asking 13,500.

Should I go for it? And what other things should I look for?

 

Mielage is a litte high for that price , i'm sure you could negotiate a better deal

 

Not a good deal, I sold a 2000 GSR 2 door about 6 months ago with 50k miles for $13,000. Don't go to a dealer, try to find a private party. If you do go the dealer route, get your own financing (e-loan, lendingtree.com, etc) and bargain as much as possible. I would bet that the dealer bought that car for less than $10k on the trade-in, so you could try to get them down in the 11s. That price would be fair, but not great. Look on kbb.com and nada.com to see what the trade-in and private party values are.

At 90k miles you should be doing timing belt and water pump, so see if you can get the dealer to do that service for free. If I were buying a car with that many miles, I would probably also change the spark plugs, fuel filter, oil, transmission fluid, do a valve adjustment, and probably dist cap and rotor. That may be overkill, but you don't really know the car's history. I would bet tires and brakes will be a concern soon as well.

As for things to look for:
Make sure no gears are grinding on low and high speed shifts
Look for overspray, drips, and orange peel paint all over the car, paying special attention to the rubber seals around the windows, trunk, and moldings. If anything looks irregular, it was probably repainted.
Look in the trunk floor for any leaks, cracks, or patching
Check the oil, coolant, and other fluid levels before driving off
Look at the pedals and interior to make sure the mileage is consistent with the car's condition - for example, a car with 10k on the odometer should not have a clutch pedal that is worn so much that it is smooth. That can be a sign of an odometer rollback
Get a carfax report, even if the guy says no accidents (many accidents will not show up here either).
Ask if it's a clean or salvage title.
Make sure all electrical stuff works well - lights, a/c, heater switches, cruise control, moonroof, windows, etc.
Check the VIN number stickers and other stickers on the hood and door jambs, if they are gone, it may have been repainted, or worse.
Pop the hood and look for cracking rubber hoses, frayed wires, etc. Also look at the seams of the fenders and the front radiator support for welding spots, make sure the bolts are OEM, and any bent or cracked pieces.

i found my car here....it was so much better than going to the dealer...

 

keep lookin im sure u will find a better deal

 

if you really want THAT sdn offer the salesman 12 otd and watch him run like crazy back and forth to his manager lol

otherwise you've got a lot of good advice posted here...

 

kool , thanks for the advises..

Keep it coming.. More the better

 

My advice would be to look for your car from a private party instead of a dealer. It might take longer, but I'm sure you will be more satisfied in the end with the car you're buying and the price you're paying.

 

Why buy that one, when you can buy mine.

no way i got my 2000 gsr hatchback for $10k with 70k miles totally stock

 

hey alpha......what type of paint did you use for the lip i got the same color? and you wanna sell it

 

man..13, 500 for an 80k car?! my gsr sedan is a 96 and it had 87k on it and got it for 6600. i think 13, 500 is a bit too much considering the mileage. i think you should pay at max 10G because it is a 2000 model.

 

Yea that seems super high, i payed $8500 for my 99 GSR with 36k miles.
Offer 10k and if they say no walk.

 

hey thanks for all the tips.. It helped me not get ripped off...

 

For that price?! I would save up and get an used RSX type S with 50K miles. And I work in an insurance company, and RSX insurance price are cheaper then integras.

 

yup, thats true to. I have looked into that. My Gosh.. . guess cuz its one of the most stolen car thats why.

 

WOW, thats a lot. I paid $5,000 for my 77k GSR sedan 2 years aga. It's a 94 though. That car should be sold for 10 or 11grand.

 

alright.. i guess the highest i'll go is $10,200

 

Just bought my 98 Sedan GSR with 65k Miles from original owner for $5000.

 

dang.. don't have to rub it in..

 

yea the dealer is asking a little too much.

I purchased a garaged 97 GSR sedan for 10K
with 45k miles on it.

I would be asking around 11,000-11,500.

Let us know how it goes.

 

no, i got my 98 LS with 18k for 13,500

 

thats alot for a a car w/80k. is there a campus near where you live? sometimes campus dealers have good cars at prices that are a ******* steal, check it out
