Hello all, glad to be here.. Should I...

Make an offer on this guys?

http://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/2770011590.html

Looks very fair for the work done to the car and the mileage it has?


What do you guys think? Even if I don't get this one I want to join the 3G TL club badly.. It would be my first car too.

Good price. I'd offer 15k. I'd tell them to keep those Sevas wheels and give you the Type-S than lower it to 14.5k.

I really like how he dynamat his trunk. Me likey

Involved in any accidents? any current problems? how many previous owners? ever been repainted? all body panels have VIN #?

you should see the condition of the car in person and test drive before making an offer

Decent price, but I'd certainly go there with just enough cash to use as a deposit and then depending on the area, or a neutral meeting place, give the balance of the cash when title exchanged, or see about the owner going to your bank or a cashier's check. Paterson certainly is far from a Camden, Trenton, or Newark environment, but I'd be tread lightly until I lnew the address.

They also have a Yamaha R1 for sale:

Also I'd ask him why is he selling it? Is he getting deployed? Just wanting to get a family type vehicle?

Might seem unusual but I've passed on a few cars when the seller couldn't come up with a good reason.

Maybe because of the replaced tranny?

That's what I have been thinking...

Hm... TBH I never really liked black on a 3G TL although I have seen some really nice ones here but I want white/dark gray and maybe a light silver one...

Another I would be interested in but the guy doesn't want any financing involved.. I have the cash in hand to buy a $20k car but I don't want to pay it all cash... I want to build some credit.
