What's a good price?

I'm looking at purchasing an 02 Carrera with 21,000 miles on the odometer. The options it has are: Coupe, Black with Black Leather Interior, 6 Speed, PSM, Sport Seats, Rear Spoiler, GT Fins, Stainless Exhaust Tips, Xenon Lights, 18" Carrera Light Alloy Wheels, Sunroof, AM/FM CD.
It's not a CPO, the dealer is asking 43,900. Do you think that is a decent price--or should he be able to go lower? NADA has the value of the car for 40k, not sure how accurate NADA is. Any input is appreciated...I would be paying for the car in cash.

I say with those miles it is priced well where it is. I agree you should try for 40+ a bit, but $43 is pretty good. I just got mine for $37, but it had a lot more miles.

It's always tough to give definitive answers to questions like this because market conditions vary so radically. Another factor will be how long has the car been on the Dealer's lot. If it's been there for only a week or two, don't expect him to reduce the asking price by nearly 10%. On the other hand if the car has been on the lot for over a month, and you make your offer near the end of the month, I'd say that you would have a good shot at $40K.

Price sounds reaonable, you can always offer lower and see where it goes. Dealers like to move cars, most will drop the price after 30 days on the lot. I highly suggest getting a PPI from another shop if you are serious about the car.

Take it to German Tech, owner is Joe Vatter, located in Largo. I'd expect the PPI to run $150-200. I'd bypass the dealer (I'm assuming it's out of warranty) unless you are planning to service it there. It's a LOT cheaper to service these cars at an independent mechanic and Joe's a master...
