Loan Approved - Is this worth it?

I've been dreaming about getting my own for the longest time now and I finally got approved for a loan. My preference was either all black or white exterior 6MT with navigation but thats almost impossible to find so I'm going to end up having to settle. I originally wanted to spend no more than 15k for a decent one.

I found one at Herb Chambers for 19k. Absolutely no haggle pricing so they won't cut the price whatsoever.

Here is the link:

2006 coupe
71k miles

I hate to buy it from a dealer because of how expensive they are but legit nobody is selling a white or black one around here. these things are rare as ****. and i'm tired of waiting for one to be posted. what do you guys think?

Not a fan of that interior color. Stone or Graphite is the way to go. 19k is way high. I'd keep looking. Keep looking even outside your area. A one way plane ticket to pick up a car doesn't add that much to the price.

all three parts of this were my thoughts exactly. i want a black interior, 19k is way too much, and my boss suggested i fly out to find one and he'd even give me days off lol

just needed another opinion thanks

Geez, I can't believe they can still ask and probably get 19k for that car. The boring tan interior, no nav, scuffed spoiler and dirty, worn carpets from what I can see just in the pics. Oh well, that's a dealer for you. My vote is for the plane ride. I know I drove 4hrs to get a decent price on mine.

I'm checking out a KH3 with 95,000 miles and minor scuffs around the body tommorow. The dude is asking for 14k but I think I can get him down to 12.5k. But now im second guessing, the white really does look a lot better than the black in my opinion. Is it a bad idea to get the one for 19k?

I've been looking. There is nothing. Trust me.

I've also been waiting a long time.. summer time is the worst possible time to buy a G but timing wasn't on my side. KBB on it is 21k.

I tried man. Herb Chambers (a chain of car dealerships in New England) has a no haggle policy. They won't take off literally anything.

I thought it was a sales tactic when the salesman told me and I was about to leave and he was getting really red. There's really nothing he could do about the price. I work in sales and I can read body language really good and I know he wouldn't of let me walked out like that. I also researched it and it turns out they really don't negotiate their prices.

Well, i say walk away from that deal. Don't waist your money on that. Just wait a little longer and another deal will come up.
