    Is This a Reasonable Price?

    Hey everyone,

    Came across this ad on Autotrader:

    http://www.marshallsautosales.com/vehicle/184972023

    The car looks really clean and according to the salesman as mint as can be. So is $15,000 reasonable? If not, what would be a good price?

    Thanks!

    Under 50k mileage cars tend to be worth what one is willing to pay as it is getting harder to find the lower mile ones, however the car is pretty much 12 years old..IMO it is not way out of line, but I'm thinking something under $14k.

    I would shoot for $12 but I'm not sure they will come down that far. Only one way to find out though.

    Not terribly overpriced, Private sale would likely be $12,000 to $13,000

    $13,500 is a fair offer with the warranty included.

    For $15,000 I think I would buy one with boost even it had some more mileage on it.

    I'll never understand how a 12 year old, 48k car can be described as "mint", "like new" or "showroom condition".

    That aside, good luck with your search!







    PS, I'll be putting my 50k, mint, like new, showroom condition 2003 Marauder up for sale later this year.

    I paid $17,995 for a 2004 with 22,000 miles. See if they will take $1,500 off and it would be a decent deal.

    My options are limited to financing or finding one for under $6000. I plan to trade in my GMQ for this one if I can get the numbers where I like them.

    yeah dont pay more than 14k. hell, go all in at 13,500. I always go by my dads 200,000 mile/300,000 km rule. 200000 miles is the average expected usage life of a panther and since this one already has almost 50k that means its already gone a 1/4 of its life. I see ones under 10000 miles that go for round $20000. $15k for a $20K car with a quarter of its life gone makes no sense.
