Default Good Deal?

We went to look at this 00 red ws6 today 48,000 miles really good condition no scrathes hooker cat back exhaust, suspension mods, 6spd, black leather interior everything reall nice execpt bald tires and it was kinda hard to get it into first, is that common? the dealership wanted 16900 but i think they will neogaitate. what do you yall think, is it a good deal if i could maybe get it down to 15500 or 16?
thanks

what do u mean it was hard to get it into first?? if you cant get it into first then i would say no way. but if you get it into first pretty easy it would be worth it, also if they got brand new tires and sold you it for about $15000, and dealerships always overprice everything. but if its a good car and accelerates awsome then get it. also if they wont lower the price tell them either lower the price or get new tires for it.

yeah i got my 98 Z for 8500, but my friend got a WS6 and he paid like 18000 for it. i thought that was a little much, so if you can get it for less then i would try that but if you cant and like the car just buy it and get it as low as possible. also check in kelly blue book for the value of the car your gonna buy and see what the price is there.

Spend the $100-$200 to have it inspected first. Any dealer worth their salt will be fine with this, if they're not then they have something to hide.

I paid $15K for a 2000Z28 with 21K A4, 17in chrome SS wheels, Leater, Power everything, and TC. Great Paint, etc...That was at a dealer, they were asking 16.9K.

Man shop around! Thats too high, bold tires, hard going into first....thats before you even pull it off the lot. You can ask for new tires, I would if I was going to buy it even if they lower the price. Dealerships need to make sure your "safe" when you drive away, and tires are a safety issue. But my first feeling is shop around. Many times we fall in love with looks, and pay the price later. All used cars need something, and a lower priced car affords you fix.

well holy **** guys i finally bought it, i traded in my truck and i got a good warranty on the car the final price was about 15.3k. and i got to pic the new tires that are going on there. i got nitto 555r's drag radial 315 45, in the rear and for the front i got hancocks, they only had a budget of like 700 for the tires so i went with that, do yall think that is good? im really excited the only bad thing is i didnt get to drive it home today, because they had to put the tires on and the service engine soon light was on, the ran a scan and said it had something to do with the cats so they are replacing them. i should get the car buy monday. let me knw what you guys think

i think the trans issue is paramount, looks like you're gonna have a expensive fix soon.
