Owner says there's nothing wrong with it, no leaks, works fine, 123k miles - of course I'm going to check it out in person and see.

$4850 firm, but the hood and bumper needs to be fixed/replaced, really minor stuff. Also about a 1 inch crack on the glass that he said can be easily repaired.

What do you all think? Fair price or nay for a fairly clean stock '99 EM1?

 

its a high price if you need to fix the front end try to get a few hundred dollars less tell him its to fix the damage in the front

 

there are pics of the front in the link, does that seem like much of a job to get fixed? seemed fairly straightforward to me, a few dents and get the bumper filled and painted. i could offer 4500 cash when I get there? I always thought Si's were few and far in between and this one looks pretty up to snuff bar that dent on the front.

Any more opinions welcome!

 

Offer him a lowball $4000 and hopefully you guys can settle on around 4500, clean car though!

 

Hell yes it's clean! I don't wanna lowball the guy since he seems like a nice fellow and we've been talking and all, hopefully I can give him a serious $4500 offer and we can settle. I'm thinking $200-300 tops to get all that fixed and painted with a local bodyshop, so it seems like a nice deal to me. I love how it's all stock, he's sending me more pics and if it's as clean on the inside and everything else I'm all over it!

 

I think that it is a very good deal. I paid 7k for mine with 140,000 miles...

 

i paid mine 8900 with 107k miles but i bought it 3 years ago very clean ran good

 

Alright will report back later with pictures thanks all!

 

yea thats cheap... i paid 8600 for mine wit 58000 miles. this was 3 years ago though

 

my first i got for 6k with 102k on it and my current one i got for 8k with 65k on it...and both were slightly modified...

 

well a hood is about 300 and the bumper is around 200 so you do the math plus paint to match

 

thats a steal. bought mines for 7000 86k miles

 

Alright this is the picture of the front damage, I'm thinking for the most part I can hammer out the hood so it doesn't look as bad for a little bit until I can get body work done on it, and the bumper just looks like it needs some pinning up and adjusting to not look so bad. How messed up does that center grille look? It just kinda seems out of place..

Thanks !

 

i would try and get it for $4500 but make sure you get the si rims with it

 

Definitely gonna try and offer $4500 and get the rims, as always, cash talks and I'll be there with the cash. That front damage doesn't look too bad, I just need to see if it's not so bad that it's passable on the street.

 

i say try to get him down to 4000 to 4500, for that price is a steal, considering you might get lucky on craigslist and find a black hood and a black bumper for under 250.

 

Easy fix

 

Awesome, got everything set up already and will be there tomorrow morning and report back with some pictures of my new EM1! Thanks everyone.

 

make sure to get those si's, it says on steelies so if he tries to give you it on steelies ball him down to 4flat but 4.5 si's is what id go for

 

i would say 4grand or 4850 IF he fixes the hood and bumper.

 

Offer him $4300.

 

get it

 

its a good deal. this gives you a reason to get a clean carbon fiber hood. just be sure there is no core support damage!

 

Indeed! How can I definitely check the core support? Look at the meat below the bumper? He said it was a soft collision and the airbags didn't go off, which is a plus.

Thanks,

 

i had a 99 DX that someone parked there suv on my hood and the airbags didnt go off. his bumper was about 3 inches from my window. lol i had to replace hood fender bumper headlight and core support. does the hood close easy? i might not cause of the dent. just make sure the core support looks good as far as pushed back. make sure its not pushed to the engine. sorry its hard to explain
