I am looking at this car it is a 2007 with 4000 miles on it. They are asking 96,500 and giving me a good deal on my trade in. What do you think about the price and has anyone heard of the dealership

Thanks

Rick its too much
Probably the reason that you are getting a good trade.
the car is good and it has PCCBs good.
there looks to be a stain on the drivers seat
left butt cheek area
It should be in the mid to high 80's
Walk and start looking else where.
Remember to do the Trade SEPERATELY from the
deal for the car.

ASLO it DOES NOT HAVE adpative sport seats. It has regular
GT3 seats. Look at the drivers side and you see the manual
hieght adjustment lever there. It has power back and forth and thats it.
What a load of hooey.

Ask for CarFax or detailed records
there was a yellow car in TN that had engine replaced and several other issues
Make sure this is not the same car....

Actually I think mid 90's is a reasonable deal for both sides; it's not a bargain nor is it a ripoff ... optioned as it is, and with the mileage it had ...

If I were selling my '07 I would be looking (not unreasonably I think) for $9x,000

Larry this is just my opinion but I think the dealer even knows its over priced (Maybe not TOO much with PCCBS and low milage) because if he is giving Rick what he thinks is a GOOD trade you know that its too much (for the trade). They probably have 5K more on the trade and just put it back in on the 96,500.
Its probably right around 90K for a fair price for both, but then they would take that from the trade. In this market Rick has a right to expect SOME type of Bargain with 07s coming off lease and no sales going on anywhere.

Yeah 90ish is probably in the ballpark I guess ... maybe just sellers wishful thinking on my part ... HOW am I going to pay for that '10 RS????

Car fax is next to worthless. If carfax is clean it means only that nobody told thm the car was repaired. Get a first rate PPI and if the is any sign of repair have a body guy take off the liners and look at the sub frame attachment points. There are a LOT of low milage GT3s out there with 2 and 3 corner damage and clean Carfax.

I agree with Old Guy - I have been casually searching for the right 07-3 for 30 days now. I have seen prices span from 85-110K. I can't help but laugh every time i see the same cars sitting (and they are the ones over 95K) on cars.com/ autotrader, etc... If you have the time to be patient...like myself, prices are gradually getting lower and lower on these as the 10's start hitting the ports...and then the streets. Now I am not an expert on this, but history tells me this will happen -Be patient.

Another thing to consider is ask price is not always the sales price on a GT3 - not in todays world - last year...maybe.

Here is the proof:

This one - http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...eadExists=true

has been in an accident the bumper and fender repainted......hence the lower price..
