Used Car Purchase Price Inquiry - Opinions Appreciated?

Style: Convertible

MIles: 60,500

Color: Red

Condition: Clean



Right now I am considering bying this vehicle. They are asking (dealership) $17,495. However, according to everyone I have asked, it is due for a routine 60k service. It will need upwards of $2,000 of work done to it to assure it is in proper working order.



Now, the asking price is $17,495. I have seen online estimators as low as a tad over $16,000 on KBB. With the repairs in mind, and estimations on "value", would it be outlandish to offer like $13,500 - $14,000 for this car? What would you suggest?Used Car Purchase Price Inquiry - Opinions Appreciated?
KBB is ususally a little high in their values. You should assume, however, that the car has had all necessary services, and if it hasn't, make an offer including the 60k service in the sale price of the car. Make them include promise of the service in writing.



I would offer $15,500 INCLUDING the 60k service, as the dealer can service the car cheaper than you can and you will also not have to pay for it out of pocket.
You can offer whatever you feel is fair. I would probably offer $11000 and see what they say. Check around and see what similar cars are going for to get a true sense of a fair price..Used Car Purchase Price Inquiry - Opinions Appreciated?
find a 350z and get a service concract that covers everything....you will save money that way. 350z are way better.. pull up trade value and start there with your price...
Audi TT's are having water pump , timing belt and thermostat problems. Just to replace the water pump is $2,000.00. Buy a 350 z, much better car.Used Car Purchase Price Inquiry - Opinions Appreciated?
I have a friend that had a TT and a 350Z and he said he much prefers the way the 350Z drives over the TT which kind of suprised me. Also when I looked at buying a used Audi A4 last year there was way too many people having engine problems because they did not replace the timing belt when specified and I hear of many of them had engine problems w/ like 70-90k miles so plan on changing out the timing belt real soon if you go the TT route.
