Hey guys this probably is not the right place for this question but, Im going tonight to look at a 99 z28 with 85k miles on it and the dealer wants 9900 for it. What do you guys think is this a good deal? Its a t top car the paint and body looks great from the pics and its got aftermarket five spoke wheels on it. The carfax came back clean on it as well.

 

depending on the options and your region thats a little too high in my opinion.8900 would be more like it.

 

Im in phx az and its all power and the interior and exterior are probably about 8.5 to a 9 its a really clean car. I doubt im gonna get a dealer to drop a grand on the price. Its got the clean car fax and I checked it out its been pretty well taken care of the first owner had it for about 7 yrs and the second for not even a month and the third had it the rest of the time now the dealer owns it. What should i look at in this car I don't know much about LS1's but I really wanna get into one. I drive an lt1 94 camaro right now and this opti trouble is makin me want to move on to the ls1

 

I'd tell him you would give him a grand less at least Car sales men are scum they probly only gave 5 grand or less for it.

 

Talk Um Down

 

Well its not a big dealership its at a nice little place called chain reaction motorsports its family owned i drove by once and they mostly have mercedes and bmw's parked out front. How do I talk them down I have never bought a vehicle from a dealership I don't know the first thing about "Haggling" lol any tips you guys can give me.

 

Just say you'll give him 8,000 for it first or thats all you can get but you realy want the car ya know. Tell him the Miles are too much for what he is asking somthing like that. but if you have the cash and you think its worth it to you buy it as is f it.

 

That is just a bit high. I would like to see that around 8k. On the other hand it is a dealership and not a private seller. You are going to pay more at a dealer, bottom line. You may be able to talk him down a bit. Just make sure you give the car a good inspection before you buy it. Look for signs of a wreck (carfax is not 100% accurate). Look for signs of repainting like overspray, or panels not matching up. Open the doors and see if replacement quarters have been welded in due to a wreck. Check for leaks, smoke, ticks and noises. Make sure the tranny shifts healthy and the rear end is not loud. Just be sure you are not buying a money pit. The dealer will bs all day to get your money. You have to look out for yourself. Good luck.

 

alright man thanks for all the info, im goin today after work to check it out maybe tomorrow ill have to post pics of it if i end up gettin it. Thanks for all the pointers as well.

 

I bought my 00' Z28 with 78k miles for 10k ....but it was two years ago

 

i talked the salesman down from 14,000 to 11,200 on mine plus made them fill it up andfix all the little scratches.usually they have a quota they try to meet so at the end of the month is a good time to by but you just missed that.or go in on a rainy day when no one else is there and they might be more motivated to make a deal.the trick to getting them down is acting like you dont give a **** if you buy the car or not.dont let'em know you have to buy the car or you'll die.let'em know theres thousands of other cars out there on the net and locally.they may want 9900 but almost always what someone wants and what someone gets is 2 different things.it would help if you had cash in hand as well.in my region the car is valued around 9300-9500.figure out what your max is before you talk to them and if they cant come down to your max walk away.

 

they knocked mine down over a $1000(and the price was already lower then retail). they mark em up just to mark em down and call it a sale.

 

My brother bought his 02 z28 with 69K miles (but it is base with upgraded exhaust...) for 9K from the dealer, talked him down a 1500 or so. Should have gone lower
