Is this not overpriced or what?, 99 celi GT STOCK Options

[Ghost]

Found this on autotrader in my quest for another 6th gen:

Granted it has nice miles and good condition, the kbb is like 13-14g. I'm lookin to buy a celi again after I sell my truck (2003 stepside silverado) and would like some extra money to spend on hospital/ambulence bills from my wreck. I think I could sell the truck for like 15g.

Also, the more money I get in the dividend, any excess will be spent on the car. However...the car has to have low mileage and preferably a 99, so thats why I picked this =x.

How low do you think I could get the dealership to go for this one?

well, did you check the retail value? dealers tend to sell cars for a lot more than what normal people can sell them for

[Benevolence]

heh you could get a 2001 GTS for that price, Im sure the dealer would go down atleast 1,000-1,500.

Dude I used to work at a car dealership .............. offer 5 or 6 grand under what they are selling it for ........ for the most part used car dealerships have cars marked up 3 to 4 thousand dollars........ and they own it even less that that if carfax isn't clean

check that car fax and start at 6 grand less the guy is gonna try and give you a long a$$ story of why he cant do that price ....... but they will go much lower than 2 grand..........
that cars wholesale value is much lower than 15990.......
I'll look it up for ya and give you a link to a website that dealers use to find out wholesale prices

Galves
All dealerships use this book
now you have to pay for it (it used to be free)
N.A.D.A.
this one is free and is also what dealerships use...

this should help you knock down the price

my mom helped nag the dealer dude to death and he knocked off 3,000

What the car should be worth !!

could be a little more though its CONSUMER EDITION NADA. Not dealer edition (thats all i could find )
and read the disclaimer under the pricing about if the car is still under factory warranty or low milage (which the car has)

and dont go bringing this web page with you to the dealership they get trained to use it against you ......... I know all the tricks.
A shady business thats why I left.

Hey defgeph, thanks for really goin that extra bit to help me out there, and everyone else's opinions, I appreciate it greatly. When I speak with them I will offer around 11g, however..I just hope I don't get shut down


And k2, I was goin to ask ya again, however, yours is a manual right? At this time in my life I prefer an automatic, and I like the steering wheels on 99's =p.

[boosted_K2]

yea... but once you learn a MT you never wanna go back, AT just seems so pointless hehe... plus ive got my car down to 6750 now w/ new TRD floor mats and KYB shocks and struts.

anyways... i just dont see the point of buying a 99 b/c they are holding their value really well right now, but in 2 years or so they wont. Especially when you can get a 96-97 for about 5 grand less.
