Wasn't quite sure how many smiley's it took for it not to be considered a personal attack.

peregrinerose 0 #33 December 28, 2004 QuoteUm, I probably wouldn't buy it strictly because of the number of miles on it. Once a car hits 100 grand, I get rid of it (or shortly thereafter). Holy shit, you are kidding right? Damn. I'm a doctor and have never bought a car with less than 100K miles on it. I have one now that has 212K miles on it. I just can't afford anything else, but haven't had bad luck with high milage cars so don't mind. Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slappie 9 #34 December 28, 2004 QuoteI have an opportunity to purchase a car almost exactly like this - the question is - do you think it is worth the price. The dealership would only give them 5500 for it - so they asked me if I wanted to buy it for 5500. 109000 miles, 99, great condition. Just buy the damn thing!! You can drive it into the ground for that price.. and once it's not running anymore, we can BLOW IT UP AND TORCH IT!!

kelel01 1 #35 December 28, 2004 I've had 2 cars with 100k+ miles on them, and they both DIED. As in, "there's nothing we can do to save them, short of putting in a new engine" died. A lot of it probably had to do with the previous owners, but that's just the problem . . . you don't know. Unless it's your grandparents' Caddy . . . at least you know that it was never driven over 40 mph, in the rain, at night, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bodypilot90 0 #36 December 28, 2004 Nina's right, buy a extended warranty and have fun. I'm a mechanic so I tend to by older low miles stuff and fix it up. I got a rag top 93 lebaron for $900 with 65,000 miles. I'll drive it 2 or 3 years and leave it on the side of the road. Better than taken a 30% hit when you drive it off the lot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hexadecimal 0 #37 December 28, 2004 I wouldn't do it after seeing how poorly my dad's Sevilles have held up through the years. Oil leaks are a common problem with these cars, and expensive to fix. You'd probably be better off spending that same $5500 on a Honda or something else less flashy but more reliable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #38 December 28, 2004 QuoteCause you're trying to talk him out of it. Probably so you can push your own lemon on him Ha-ha!!! Talk him out of it? Nah....he's grown and can make his own decision. I'm just trying to provide information that is normally not given so he can make an educated decision, also based on some personal experience from one this dealership owned. What he does with the information is his own business. Now if he were buying it from me, I'd still give him that info. It's just who I am.Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ooohhhh...double zinger...I'm on fire!!! Let's go back and examine some of the words used here and see who has a better situation. *OK *Bolas *made out *chick car *double zinger To me, it sounds like he definitely has the advantage. All you have is people offering to pee on you since you're on fire. While I realize that some people think being pee'd on is a sexual fantasy come true, I'd prefer making out with Bolas in his chick car any day over that!

BIGUN 1,488 #45 December 28, 2004 I'm thinking you should buy it. THen, get with AggieDave and you guys get a 4" suspension lift and 2" body lift kits. Raise it up six inches, then put some fender well flares on it with Mickey Thompson mudders raising it about ten inches higher. Instant Cowboy Cadillac!!
