HELP QUICK should I buy this car??

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT


Does it sound like a good deeal? I'm the winning bidder but I already told the owner that I need to look at it first before I put any money down and he agreed. So just by the description and all does it sound like a good car? I have a 1994 Z28 A4 132,000 miles right now and I wanted to jump into a 6 spd with a little less miles (was hoping for around 90-100,000 but oh well). Thanks...

Re: HELP QUICK should I buy this car??

Why does it show blue exterior with a black interior when it shows a white car?

That's a pretty price for the mileage. Seems like a good buy if all else is fine.

Re: HELP QUICK should I buy this car??

I guess what i'm tryin to say is if 125,500 is too much for a car that I plan on keeping for many years and will mod it mildly (bolt ons + tune). I dont want to start modding something that I don't see myself keeping for a while, that's why i'm seeling my car cuz its a A4... M6 is awesome I cant wait, i'm just waiting for ur guys approval lol

you can always rebuild, but i would try and find another place to buy a car... ebay you cant even test drive it before you buy it, NEVER buy a car without testing it... who knows how the motor runs, or how loose the suspension is, or if your tranny is slippin.... JMHO

Re: HELP QUICK should I buy this car??

I'd never buy a car just from a discription... always best to check it out in person first...


On ebay... I"d only buy a car if...

1. It's new and a dealers selling it with a warranty

2. The cost of parting out the car exceeds my original purchase

3. If it's a 68-69 Fastback in need of restoration that I can't find anywhere else because they're all in damn california and I spent 6 months trying to track one down on the east coast... and all ended up buying this camaro instead...

My assumption is car was in an accident thats why its painted Blue now. I would hold off to be honest w/ ya, dosent sound like a great deal, its not a bad deal but i think you can do better. If it was me id hold off. GOOD LUCK

Definetly hold off. Dont get in too big of a rush. I was patient for a long time and walked away from a few cars with too high of a price for the car. But i finally found a 95z 6speed all options but leather. 28,000 miles and absolutely cherry for 7500. So just hang in there.

Re: HELP QUICK should I buy this car??

me? i got mine, a 95 Z that the guy had listed for $4200... i had a 79 monte carlo that i had about 3500 into... and he traded me the Z for my monte, AND gave me $1000..... all it needed was fan work. not all here agree with my approach, but it works for me fans kick in and constantly maintain cooling wind... but basically... i only payed about 2500 for my 95 Z28 take a look at my sig line, thats whats in it... although, im not totally positive about the gear ratio, im probably gonna try and find that out tomarrow, but the rest is there. for $2500? anyone have an objection? lol
