Thumbs up good deal?

hey guys, i was just wondering what your guys thoughts on this AP1 were...

i am purchasing an 02 AP1, sebring/black

27k miles on it
completely stock
few dents and dings here and there, but all will be repaired in the process
trunk has a few scratches, but will be replaced anyway
front bumper is somewhat misaligned, but can be taken cared of easily

car only has 27k miles on it
electronics work fine
engine runs smooth and idles well

clean title.


$17,000


or ?

alright, ill be sure to check on that too this weekend. he was selling it for $18k, but we negotiated and i got him to drop it to $17,000. i think that it was sorta misaligned (meaning that there was a small gap from the fenders and the front bumper) because they took off the front bumper before to do some work on it i believe.. i am planning to change the front bumper anyway, so as long as there is no damage, it should be good, right?

haha, yeah. well.. as long as everything is aligned and there is no frame damage, everything should be okay. the engine and tranny are all in good condition, no problems with the electronics and whatnot. the car runs fine, and i am planning to replace the front bumper and the car will be cosmetically and internally in good condition... this will be my first car, sorta like a high school graduation present for myself.

no i mean.. the bumper wasnt misaligned.. the bumper just had a small gap between the front bumper and the fenders... im saying as long as the car's chassis is aligned and that there is no frame damage, then it should be alright... right?

If the bumper isn't lined up right, there is probably something bent underneath...
