Thoughts on buying a 2000 T/A with 120k?
 

What do you guys think about buying a 2000 T/A with 120k on the clock. It has no mods and is a texas car brought to Michigan 3 years ago and stored in the winter. They say that the miles are mainly highway miles. Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance!!!

Well most importantly what are they asking?

They are asking $7500 but will take $7000 no less. It blue books around 6500-7000

Take it to a mechanic before you buy it......

whats the condition?

I don't know man, I'd probably look elsewhere if they are asking $7500 unless the car otherwise was damn near flawless. It just seems a little high to me.

It has a few flaws cosmetically! Not to bad for 120k! I will probley look around a little more. Thanks

i would say 7000 is an average asking price considering the mileage. if the car is in tip top shape id buy it, but im sure theres other deals elsewhere

Wait.

I found another car today. It is a 1998 or 1999 Formula with about 100,000 on it stored winters. Has A4, newer tires on it, leather, centerline wheels, red in color owned by a older gentlemen. He is asking $6500. What do you think?

That sounds a little better, was the T/A a 6 spd or Auto?
I like Formula's so it s got my vote. Leather in a Formula is a pretty rare option unless special ordered. Post some pics of these cars if you can.
But you can't beat the price, and if is he was only owner, I would steal it for that.

The T/A was an A4. I was told it has leather. I am going to look at it in about an hour. I will let you know how it goes

FYI, all 98+ T/A's have leather, t-tops, and power options. Just in case somebody tries to say 'but this one has t-tops' or 'this one has leather' to get you to buy.

What about Formulas?

Nope it was an option on those.

Try to get them down a bit more, and also have it looked over.

The car was a 94' Lt1 car. I was told by the owners son that it was a late 90's like a 98 or 99. So i am still looking. If anyone has any leads please let me know

check craigs list, thats where i picked up my car for a steal :nod:

I am going to look at a 98' T/A with 89K on the clock. It has 18 Inch Wheels, aftermarket ram air hood. Purley for for looks. And borla exaust. He is asking $7400. I am going to offer $7000. What do you guys think?

That's the best buy you mentioned of the group. Notice how quickly you've been finding these cars? If you can afford to wait it out, and travel a bit, you can find one for dirt.


There's always another one out there, so don't get desperate.


I like the sound of that '98 with the hood and wheels. Decent price, decent miles, and a couple extras that'll save you from spending the money. Pics?
