05 good deal?

Hey guys, I am new and looking forward to becoming an active member on this forum.

I am looking for a new car, and have my sights on a '05 rl with 81,000km (~50,000miles) for $27,900 (~$22,000 USD). It is a one owner car and is in excellent condition. Also, they are including the 160,000km (until 2011) extended warranty because it is a certified pre-owned vehicle.

Thoughts as to this being a good purchase? I am looking to pull the trigger this afternoon.

Thanks again!

TJ

If you're in Canada that's an excellent deal. If you're in US...you can try knocking a $1,000 off.

Is this the one at Performance Acura in St. Cathrines? If so, offer them $25,000 and see what they say. Worst case is they may come back and tell you $26,500, at least they met you halfway. There is room to negotiate with that price.

Yes, it is haha. Thanks. I figured them throwing in the $1000 certified package was decent already, and ask for a few extras (tint, new nav disc's, etc)

Thank you for the input though. Are you the one they said have been making offers on it?

I did make an offer of $25,000 but never made it out there. I found myself an 05 A Spec closer to home but $10,000 more with half the km's. Just throw them an offer with all that stuff included or ask for a trunk tray and mats....they are able to work something better out all the time. I negotiated $7,000 off my car but I had a hook up.

Well, I picked it up. Yay! Delivery date April 4th, 2009. (I can't make it out until then.)

Nice to hear. By the pics it looked like it was in great condition. Where you located? Did you end up paying the $27,900?

Check the new owners thread. I am currently in Ottawa but am relocating to Markham for a new job, and my parents are in St. Catharines. I was down on Wed. night to test drive it.

Only one scratch on drivers rear quarter panel, but i got them to fix it for me.

Looks really nice. I like the Canadian heated front headlight washer feature.
