Hi everyone,
Looking for more advice as usual
I just started looking on forums and things for cars and posted WTB ads. A seller got in touch with me about his 1995 Integra LS 2-door, 145k, alarm, power everything, CD, some mods. It's a rebuilt (driver side, $2300 in 1997), no engine damage, passenger side mirror is cracked. In the ad, the seller says he purchased it for $10k last year and did $4k worth of mods (which I don't care about) and was asking $9500obo.
After exchanging some messages the price is down to ~$6500 and I'm wondering if this sounds okay? He wants to close the deal this weekend but I know the fastest I can do it is sometime next week IF I do buy it because it needs to be inspected, and I need to check insurance, liens and carfax.
A few things I'm concerned about:
- why does he want to sell it so soon? (I'm waiting for him to get back to me with the reason)
- should I be worried it's a rebuilt?
- how much does it cost to fix the passenger mirror?
- wondering if this is a good price? It's better than listed buy and sell prices but I can always haggle lower than the listed price right? Or should I just haggle lower with this seller?
Any other questions/things I should look into if I seriously consider it? I also asked him for the VIN so I can run ICBC claim checks.
Thanks so much in advance for your help, I really do appreciate it
