Default before I buy a car, final WTB.

I am considering to purchase a 2003 yellow s2k about 200 miles away from me. This car has few hundred over 7000 miles. No mods, no upgrades, bone stock. this DEALERSHIP is asking $21,900 for it. I'll have to add another 7% tax+ $500 additional for documents etc etc etc totaling the cost to about $23,500.

If anyone is out there offering their s2ks for around $22-23000 with the following criterias, please let me know...

1. Clean title, no minor collision records.
2. 10k miles and under.
3. Car is located East of Mississippi River.
4. ONLY 2003 models.
5. Preferably Black or Silver. Any color works for me.

Sorry for the long post and I just wanted to post this up just so I won't regret. Thanks for taking your precious time to read and let me know if anythings up.

just make sure that the car you are buying has a clean title. it seems highly unlikly that a 03 with under 10k miles is going for that cheap espically from a dealer.

you're looking at an 01... double check that this dealer isn't selling salvaged things.
even i would look at 24k for my 02 at 17k miles

Here it is...

and there is another one by private seller...
only 3100 miles + 03.

Do they look suspicious in any way?? It seems legit so far, but we'll have to see...thanks for looking out though...

the white one is too far to just go and take a look...but the yellow one is a possibility...still a 3 hour or so drive, but heck...for that price, its worth it...

no contact with the white car (2nd link). I have talked to the first one, delores. according to her, car has a clean title. However, little minor repair was done on the front bumper. She said it was a little dent that cost $300 to get repaired. Other than that, its clean.

shes 3.5hr away from me...and im planning on checking it out once i receive some pictures from her that i have requested. They are a dealership, and do have finance options for in-state residents only. Outsiders needs to pay up front or arrange their own finance.

yellow one sounds like a killer deal to me...:thumbsup:

and i can almost bet that its an 03 model as well...i think the 10th digit is usually the made year of the car and its a "3", but then again...it varies...so...
