Default 2001 TA 66k miles $12 worth it?

I test drove a 2001 black on black TA today had 66k miles. Was in 'Average' shape no tears in the leather or stains, just normal wear.

It has Pacesetter LT Armor coated headers, True Duals with some kind of billet muffler. MTI lid, SLP MAF, MSD wires, 3500 Stall. Aftermarket wheels, and black tented windows.

Everything works Runs good. Im guna offer him 11.500 sound like a good deal?

Pretty good deal from the sounds of it. Blue book for that car here in MD is about 12.5 private party in good condition with average miles. (Average for that year is like 77,000.

To the other poster. No offense but you can't compare prices of cars 2 years apart.

Well...I would have it checked out personally. I would check to see what condition the cluthch is in, and also the rear end, making sure that there were no chips in any of the teeth. Since he has modded the car, it's obvious it's been raced quite a few times. Just tryin to help you out..Thats what I did for my T/A.

A plumber that buys plumbing parts from us just sold his 1999 black ta a4 stock (no mods) for $10,000. The car was garage kept and only had 31,000 miles. I almost bought the car myself .

umm, mines definetly worth 35,000 because of the full bolt ons HELLLOOO... no but seriously it's nice getting a car with mods but no telling how hard it's been ragged... got mine with exhaust and thought it looked pretty damn good with 60,000 for 13K and then when i blew my tranny we found out he had all kinds of beefed up parts in the tranny and the rear end wines more then it should, soo just check it out befor you buy it. actually drive it and maybe get on it a bit see if there's anything noticeable.. besides that it sounds like a great deal
