Opinion about this car i wanna buy...

[jcline]

What do you guys think about this car i want to get. I sold my old 1992 talon ESI not too long ago.. and well i miss it so much that i wanna get a TSI this time... What do you think about the price/condition? I mean it looks very clean and straight.

Looks to be a good car with no visual defects. I hate those red interiors though. I would offer less than $4500, that seems too high IMO. $3500 would probably be more fair, but pay whatever you feel its worth. If s/he won't budge on price and you like it for $4500 then go for it.

well the guy says 4500 FIRM.. but ill see about 4k even. Id have to take a loan out either way.

But i dunno what exactly im seeing under the hood, but its clean.

I'm with Hughes on the red interior, yuck. Real easy to swap out cheaply these days though.

I dont mind the interior.. im just worried about the engine and stuff. My last one's engine and tranny were FUKED!

Can you go test drive the car (I didn't look at the location when viewing the ad)?

I was interested in buying that car as well, looked nice. Also, about loans, I couldn't get an auto loan from my bank because the car was too old. So I just took a personal one :)

To be honest, with the market as it is right now, $4500 for that car seems pretty fair. I've seen quite a few 1Gs lately going for $5-6k, in similar condition.

[jcline]

well i doubt i might be able to get a loan.. I've never bought a car like that before, and I pretty much have no credit.

Its located in hillsboro , oregon.

If someone bought it before me.. I'd be one sad kid. Right now i got a plymouth grand voyager that doesnt even work.

Might be able too, if i talk to the guy. Was gonna plan a meeting to go check it out.

Just gotta figure out how to get a loan.
