If it is truly clean and has 100% pristine paint, $21-$23K is a decent deal for a late model build '95. Not deal-of-the-century deal but pretty good. If I had that money burning a hole in my pocket, I would jump on it after a full PPI gave it clean bill of health.

I will be in Sioux Falls all next week if anyone wants me to take a look-see. Happy to do it, but only if you are serious.

Driver's side fender-to-hood gap looks suspect. Otherwise, seems in very nice shape.


When a seller states, "no paint work", I automatically take that to mean the opposite.

That could turn out to be a nice car for not a lot of $$.

seems like the deals just keep getting better... the car looks good in the ad, given the price/miles. Make sure there are no large issues... and go go go.

Think I'm going shopping for a Cayenne

Right now that seems like a decent price. If the car is the one you want then it is worth it if it checks out. If not, there are a lot of easily as good deals out there right now. Just takes precious time.

Seems like a decent deal to me if it checks out w/ a PPI.

I am so depressed.

Am I living in some alternate universe where decent cars are still expensive?

I've been talking to someone about a late 95 C4 with about 100K miles, original suspension, about 60K miles on a valve guide replacement and about 30K miles on the new clutch, and I'm having trouble getting him to move from his $29K asking price.

What gives? I seem to regularly see 95 C4's with 70-80K miles, needing a bit of work, with a firm price in the low thirties. You guys who say there are plenty of cars at low cost - share some wealth, will ya

The seller of your car has been smoking his IRA statements and cannot be held accountable for his state of mind. Clearly, he is not motivated and wants to remain the owner of his car. I think he's off by at least $6,000. IMHO.
