Considering you are buying it off a used car lot, have it checked out thoroughly by an independent mechanic. Make sure you don't tell the dealership who the mechanic is beforehand to avoid him slipping the mechanic a few to give it a Green light. (This is a common occurence). You also want the complete history of the car or walk. Good luck. The price is somewhat on the low side.

yeah, talk em down. Smaller car dealerships will literally wash your feet and give you the world to sell you a car...especially since it's close to the end of the year, they're more willing to let cars go for tax purposes. When I bought my '03 6MT w/ 100k miles, I talked the dealership down lower than 10.5k w/ brand new front tires to replace the feathered ones and w/ a 24k extendable powertrain warranty. I'm praying my engine and tranny explode within the 24k timeframe so I can get brand new ish, lol...

6MT Brembo Coupe
Coupes for less than $15k? Maybe it's time to get out of the game.

yeah, likely due to the fact that I live in San Antonio, TX. Things here are hella cheap. Mostly at small dealerships that are about to go bankrupt. I've seen some crucial whips at some small dealerships for real cheap lately. At the place where I bought my coupe, they had an 08 Charger for 12k and an 06 Chrysler 300 for 10k.

dont miss a good chance....its true, low price scares away customers lol former broker......anyway, you dont wanna miss out...def go out there but get your poker face on and have your questions written down....and talk to them a "total cost analysis", which is the cost of the car over the amount of terms you agree to... like 474 a month x 72 months x 6.9% interest is:35000 approx. that is the total cost the price was 27000...... i was a broker for 3 years, so ask away if you have any sales questions...i know how to f^&* with peoples minds......ninja style

peace and love

happy holidays (to the Forum that helped me get my car!)

Get them to hold it and get a private inspection done by a 3rd party. If nothing is wrong, BUY IT. Insane deal, if the economy was better it would probably be about 17k for that car.

Take full advantage...I did it two months ago to a small dealer....the price was too good to be true....went to check it out and even after all the fixes I'm still ahead....they are desperate to stay alive.....

Now if I could just find a gtr....

My friend started up a small dealership in Valencia California and he has a pretty much brand new GTR for sale. I'm not sure if you're serious about wanting to buy one or how big your budget is, but here's the link to his GTR in case you're interested:
