The dealer is asking 16K for a 2003 EP3. It is the blue color. Stock wheels and all stock. It has 30,000 miles, one owner and looks like it is in great condition. I am seeing them go for like 13K on here though but that isn't from the dealer.

What do you think I could get it for?

 

thats wayyyyyyyyy too much to pay.

people were buying them new in 02-03 for 16k.

a good condition used 02-03 id say anywhere from 10-14k depending on the condition.

 

i bought mine from a car dealership auction for 13k with 29k miles on it saved me quite bit then buying it actully from actully buying it from a dealership

 

i paid only 11,500 for a black 03 53k miles

 

damn that is expensive,..... i cant even get low blue book for mine around here. gonna sell it to carmax for 7000 cuz i dont have the time to sell it privatly since i found the other car i want

 

So should I try to get the dealership to drop it down to like 13,500 or 14??? I know they were like 20K new and it is 4 years old. Seems it would drop more than 4K in that amount of time.


Thanks guys.

 

Your gettin ripped... just walk away.

 

What should be the most I pay?

 

13.5-13k You could get a s2k for 16k

 

Sweet thanks. I have just started looking into these guys. Kind of been a hidden passion of mine before. I am going to stick it to that dealership and if they don't like it then I will walk.

 

yeah, a little too much
you can buy a type-s at 16k

 

yes, your gettin ripped off. Just for reference, I bought my '05 with 27k on it for 12,900 from a dealer. I offered them money and left. after the car didnt sell for a week or 2, they called me back. Id offer him 12.5-13k and walk away, he'll call you

 

Sweet dude. Thanks for all the input from you guys. I knew from the start I wasn't going to sign a thing without first consulting my advisers (HONDA TECH!). I would feel more happy about the purchase knowing I got a way fair price. And dropping the price 3k from what they are selling it for now would be nice.


The only problem I am thinking might occur is the the blue book on this car is 16,400???


What do I say to get them to go lower. I checked the NADA site and the national average was about 12.5.

I think I can get them to go down just because I noticed some blemishes (i.e. chipped side marker, scratched up rear panels, etc).

Any other pointers would be greatly appreciated. Some of this I know I need to figure out on my own if I am going to have the responsibility of owning a new(er) car but at the same time I am an EF guy. Not an EP3 guy. You guys know the cars, you know what's going down.


Thanks a ton.

 

13,200 with 20,000 miles.

 

That's WAY too high! My sis got hers brand new in '03 for 13,500 out the door!

 

11,000 at 45,000 miles. 02. Over $5k in mods and babied.

 

I bought my 03 VBP w/ 60k miles for $9500. Took her up to 87k miles then swapped k24a2 in her. Now she's back down to ~16k miles.

 

If only the engine was all that counted...

 

i cant locate any cheap ones!

 

No offense but you're 16. I don't know if they can go cheap enough for you. Plus your signature....

Oh, I know right! I wish... But at least it feels like a newer car again with this engine in there.

When I was 16, I had pipe dreams of getting a smooth black prelude and just kicking everyones *** on the road. Then I snapped back to reality and kept my little 92 Civic LX beater until I could afford something nicer.

 

Do this.. look at the trade in for that exact car add 2-3k to it and that should be about what you should pay for it.

 

whoa too much man. My cousin just bought his 2003 ep3 with 17000 miles on it for 14g's

There's still 02-03 EPs with &lt;20k miles? That's rare, haha.
