4k is not high for those cars in that good of shape, in fact I think it's too low. If I had the $$$ it would already be mine. That is the type of car I would love to have as a bone stock daily driver.
As for the mileage, 120k is nothing. My 91 TSi AWD had 170k and ran stong as can be until someone ran it with no coolant. Do a compression check, and I would say if all 4 are 140 or higher buy it for what he is asking.
If you have 1 way off or somethign offer like 1k to 1.5k less since it may need a new motor down the road, but either way buy it. Or tell him to hold it till Spring and I will buy it.

It's really hard to put a dollar amount on a vehicle. To one person it might be worth $5000, to another it might be $2500. It looks really clean.
KBB shows for that vehicle in excellent condition with the sunroof (I couldn't tell from the pic) it's worth about $3300 in MN.
The real question is it worth $4000 to YOU?

I am sure there are a few people on the site that can help ya out, but if your looking to get a DSM of any sort it may be worth it to buy one for yourself. Wait for some others to come back on later today once the dyno fest is done.

I actually have seen and riden in this car. It runs fine, doesnt blow any smoke and the trans shifts fine. The interior is nice but the exterior is a little rough in some places, but it is 12 years old. I'd say its a good buy.

Went and just saw it! Awesome. Just some scratches in the tint and a small ding on the panel. But i'm going to make an offer tomorrow with the parentals!  Yet, i need to have it all checked out. Like compression and brakes and shit. Can i go to just any repair type shop 2 do compression and a check up?
me = :wub: this car
Ill let you all know how things go and thanks for all of your replies and the help! :woowoo:

That isn't Ryan's (mustgofaster) is it? From what I remember, it looks similar.

I've sold 4 of them, prices ranged between $3000 and $3800. If it's nice, it's worth $4K.

No, mines a 92, has tinted windows, 5 spoke rims (stock instead of the 8 spoke on 91's) has no motor in it and isn't stock (has guages and stuff). Seeing those pics makes me want to go look at mine, sit in it and enjoy it. Maybe I'll put my lower end together tommorw or something. But yes, mine looks similar, kinda.
