Default What is a good used car worth?

As my search continues, I am coming across early cars (2000/20010) with reasonable miles (above 60K, but less than 90K), in very nice condition interior and exterior, serviced appropriately, mostly if not all stock, in the area of $10K to $12K.

What is the concensus here? Is a good, early s2k worth $11k?

I believe it is, but am looking to be 'convinced'. I actually like the 02/03 models, with early AP2 wheels

Or, am I just looking for the right color comb.......

Whaddaya say guys n gals?
Opinions?????

11k is a very good deal for an early S2K with 75k, assuming it is in good condition

It's not our job to "convince" you; that's the seller's job. Buy what you want to buy; only you and the seller care.

Holy crap they were trying to sell an '01 for $22,000?! Wow I'm glad they "decided" to lower the price for ya

I bought my '01 with 65k miles on it for $15,100, so $11k is a good deal.

i can't believe the 00/01's are going for so little ($10-12k, if that's the going rate)! these cars aren't *that* much different from the newer model years. sure there are big differences, but when compared to other cars, all of the models years look and perform roughly the same.

in my opinion it is a lot of car for the money. great for buyers. sucks for sellers.

A good used car (just like a house) is worth whatever a buyer is willing to pay for it.

I just bought my 2001 silverstone for $13.5k. 58k miles, everything is in excellent condition, clear title. Only thing it needs is a new top and new front rotors. Maybe that will give you an idea.
