$4,400Let me tell the story though...The ad on craigslist said $4,495. Sweet! So I drive down there over 2 hours and take time off work. I get down there and look at it and drive it. Come back and said "I like it, how much do you want for it?" and we start talking. It was a little mexican lot (not trying to be racist anyone that is Latino) and the owner wasn't even there. The little mexican guy told me "Well its $4,495 plus a 399 dealer fee." and said the owner should have told me that before I drove down.
I didn't even talk to the owner. I called 3 different times to but he was never there. The little guy said "Oh....you didn't talk to him?" so he called him and told him that I was pretty upset. They waived the dealer fee. So I said "Ok now what does he want for the car?" and the guy said "$4,495" 
At this point my fiance walked outside and sat in the car because I think she was about to pull the guy over the desk. I got little man's cell phone and talked to the owner. I told him I wanted the car but it had a few things wrong with it along with I will have to change the timing belt soon. He asked me what I wanted to pay for it and I told him I thought $4,000 was a reasonable price for both of us. He came back with "I can't do that, I can sell it for what is on the ad". I told him again what was wrong with the car and he said "You can drive back home without buying it, I'm not making you buy it" at this point I gave the little guy his phone back because I was about to tell the owner what I thought of his mother. After going outside to cool off and talk to my fiance, which she wanted to leave the car and not pay what they were asking. I told her though that I wouldn't be able to find another one as nice for the price. So I went back inside and offered $4,400 just to get me on the road. They agreed and thats that. POS lot and I will NEVER buy another car from them.It's not a bad deal, the car looks great and you now own it. You're Blessed and you have a sweet car free and clear, no worries. I am finding that very few people have any wiggle room in a price these days no matter what you buy, you did just fine-

Now we're gonna have supposed kill stories coming from this and the Mach, but not the Stang that you uhhh, "own."
That car is damn clean Kev! $4,400 isn't a bad deal at all considering there aren't many left in that conidition. It's a shame the dealer was a douche. I drove 200 miles to get my car, and the guy was perfectly fine with knocking off a quick $500 on the car. Small dealers are hit n miss.
Good find!

Congrats. I've got a 2 1/2 year old little girl that I'm afraid is already into cars because she prefers riding in daddy's "fast car" as opposed to mommy's car. Also had a pretty good week last week as we had the ultrasound and I found out that our second child is going to be a boy. I already started buying a hot wheel for him whenever we go shopping. I'm thinking in a few years I need to pick up a clean notch so we car do an LS swap together in about 15 years....

Since this is the BS thread, I will post my puppy kicking that is not worthy of its' own thread. 2000 supercharged Grand Prix GTP with a pulley (he didn't say what size), headers, O/R midpipe, muffler, tune and gears (never heard of ppl doing gears to these cars but I guess anything can be done) was egging me on...slowed down to a 35 roll so I followed suit, was at about 2800-3000 rpms in 3rd gear, he honked it off. When we hit it, at first I pulled slowly due to my rpm, but then I walked away, end of 3rd I was up 3 cars, end of 4th up about another 3.5, so in the end it was about 6.5 cars from 35-110. I was impressed with how it ran although I expected to win. First street action I have gotten in a loooooooooong time. Not anything to brag about, just posted it because it was fun.

More like noob side lol (drag racing of course). Its ok though. They are super fun cars.
I think you'll be happier with a peppy small turbo like a disco potato at sub 350whp levels. AutoX is also THE arena for an integra
