93Z, $4650 what do you think?

Hey guys I just bought this Z and am wondering if you all think it is a good deal. I know all the book values for this car, but I also know that they are sometimes wrong (and vary greatly). Anyway here is what it has:

'93, A4, pw, pl, ps, bone stock (I wanted a car that wasnt modded), 77k, original service manual with dealer stamp and date up to 52K, bald tires (I bought new potenza 950's), near flawless paint and interior, red paint, cloth interior, runs great. So what do you think. I found it at a small musclecar dealer in Clearwater.

I took it into Tires Plus the day I got back to Gainesville to get everything serviced so I could really get on it. I know I got raped there (I could have done it for $650 easy), but I didn't care because I just wanted to go drive the thing. Dropped about 1K just on that, but it was stuff I wanted to do like trans flush, trans filter, tb cleaning, fuel injector cleaning, radiator flush, tires, head temp sensor...

Anyway I hope I didn't overpay for the car, but would appreciate your thoughts!

If you feel you got a good deal, then you did IMO. Book value means nothing (except when the dealer is trying to screw you). If you like it and are happy, good for you. Enjoy tour new car.

Sounds like you got a good deal to me, but im from canada, and that car would be worth about 10,000 up here.

Thats a pretty good deal. When i was lookin to buy mine i wanted one with exhaust and gears, and that pumped up the price. I got lucky and the guy i bought mine from babied it for 5 thousand miles he had it, im the third and final owner!

I paid 7k for mine, but it had exhaust and gears already installed, and K&N too.

I paid $10,000 for mine in 2001 with 31,000 miles. Same options, same color, and it's in almost mint condition excepts for some rock chips on the hood. I think you did pretty good.

I kind of got screwed on my '93
bought it with about 130.000 miles for 4500
said it had never been wrecked except a busted mirror.
Later found out it had been rear-ended, and the back bumper was repainted with lacquer paint, and they tried to buff it into the rear-quarter panel and just burned it.
but i like it now though
Just needs paint
