Question BUYING a NEW CAR?!!??!!

wat do u guys think? should I or should I not. Its a 2000 Z28 M6 with 29,000.
I got it diagnostics cuz buddy of mine ownsa shop everything checked out except the driver side window motor is just slow. It has t-tops chroms zo6's with about 75% left on the tires. its black with grey cloth interior. Its super clean. There are two things i dont like about it. 1. The grounds effects! GOtTA GO! 2. the exhaust has somesuper thick tips that just irritate me because its something ud see on a 3000gt. Oh yeah i talked him down and the lowest he will go is 12,900, which is exactly how much is left on his loan.
so wat do u think???

12,900 sounds good for the mileage. What other options does the car have?

Sounds like a pretty good deal. Window motors being slow or not working are very common. If the ground effects are factory they are riveted to the car. When you take them off it will leave holes behind that will have to be filled and painted. Some people leave the holes but it doesn't look all that great. Just something to think about before you buy it.

I must have stole Jordays car for $13,900 with all the mods and its a 2002!

But, it doesn't seem like a bad deal though.

It's pretty basic. I took my side skirts off last summer to clean the sand out of them and it took 5 minutes to unbolt the straps and pop each one off. I don't think the price is outrageous, I paid 16K for mine about 3 years ago with less than 1,500 miles on it. No power option though.

I wouldn't sell my 46k 00 for that money (12,900.) Take that deal and run with it.

Yeah, the price is fair. I just sold a '00 for with 70K miles on it for $12K.
