QUICK NEED HELP 451 at stake!

Hey, my name is Jay. Been a browser for a looong time now.

Yesterday, at loeber, Chicago.. A used 2008 black on black passion smart.

12,990.00
10,700 miles

Deal or no deal?!

I need to decide today!

I am going to try to get it down to 12,490 and have them extend the warrenty.
Email me your thoughts.. I don't really have much time to read this during the day.

jaymlibby@yahoo.com

Thanks!

Hi Jay -

The price would depend on the options. Can you get a hold of the original configuration? That way you can compare to the price of an exact copy new. Were there any after market add-ons? Once you have all the info you can decide if the discount is worth it.

You could get a new orphan for that or close to that.

Manheim results for the mid-west region

Manheim auction results suggest this may be a decent deal, but IMHO, I would go for an orphan. The mileage is too high for me - unless you can get it CPO'd for > 24K miles or something like that.

This is hard to decypher, but if you give me your email thru a PM, I can get you a cleaner copy.

Alright, just got off phone with dealer.
He came down to 12490, and is giving me a 5 yr/60,000 mile warrenty.

Heh?!

Yeah, I have always wondered that myself~! Do your ears turn green and fall off or . . . just wondering.

I think I would go for an orphan, too. . .
