Default Possible New Ride

going to go check this out today. It's a 2000 original WS6, fully loaded, t-tops, leather, etc. Has 100K miles +, but I think he's asking a bit much for it. He wants 12K. What would be a reasonable price for it?

A little side note, it's the same guy that I bought my current WS6 from, an older guy, and I know that he doesn't just dog the crap out of his vehicles, when I bought my current one, it was completely pampered and babied.

8k would be my max for that car. No mods done to it right?

Is this one going to be the DD or just another toy?

You still keeping the red one right?

No it's a couple grand in damage and no one was hurt. My little girl said her neck hurt but they checked her out there and said she was fine. Everone else was fine.

I have pics of the car in my Austin post in the Texas section.

Honestly since you've had goodluck with the seller before and you know he takes care of his stuff I wouldn't mind paying alittle over KBB, but personally wouldn't pay 12k asking.

well, went and checked it out, talked him down a little, but it's still out of my price range. it's an actual ws6, loaded, everything works, runs real good, and it has 144K on it, i was mistaken...anyone interested can get it for 10,750. it has some rock chips on the front bumper cover, but is in great shape besides that...let me know if anyone is interested and I'll provide the contact info. wish i could've gotten it, but didn't work out.

144k miles and asking that much for an 11 yr old car, even the old timers think these things are made of gold. Car is worth about 5k tops unless you are a sucker

He must not be in a hurry to sell....

Did he give you any good reason as to why he is asking so much?
