Seems reasonable, but ALWAYS offer less! I'd start at $12.5k.

I was going to say start at $12k but go no higher than $13K, assuming the car is in excellent condition. The biggest concern would be if has the water leak described in the laundry list of TSB's associated with the S197. You can find them in one of the stickies to this forum. But I'd get them to replace those god-awful wheels first...

Yeah, if you pay what they ask for your paying too much. Be sure to see the carfax, and have a mechanic of your choosing inspect it and put it on his diagosis machine.
According to Kelly Blue book in good condition it's worth 15,500 from a private party, 13500 in fair condition. Like the person above said, offer 12500 and go from there. But be suer not to skip the carfax and inspection. Cars can look great but have serious problems.

I'd agree with the others, offer $12-12.5k. The dealer I traded my 05 to can't get $16k for it. Link It still has all the mods on and they put brand new tires on it.

I wish I could have found a GT in my area for that price..

I think there are better deals out there but it’s not bad.

Lowball him everyone here says 12 but I'd go lower start out at 11.
The key is picking the number in your mind you are willing to pay and still fill like you got a good deal and shoot for below that number, let’s say you are willing to pay 15 for it, start out at 11 and when the dealer says 14 make a sad face and say okay I guess I can do that.
Get preapproved first and walk in with a check in your hand and make sure the dealer knows you have a preapproved loan, this does two things:

1. The dealer knows you have decent enough credit to get the loan, and you have the money to buy that day.

2. This later on can allow you to negotiate a better apr possible from the dealer.

My last piece of advise is don’t be afraid to walk away from the deal if you’re not getting what you want, from my personal experience I have walked into a dealership (motorcycle) tried to make a deal didn’t get the deal I wanted so I took my money and walked out, later that night the dealer calls me and lets me know his boss had a change of heart and the deal I wanted is now possible(hmmmm).
Good luck!!

Why does the add say it has new paint?
And why would it need new paint?

Unless its talking about the rims.

13K is the most I would offer. There are a few odd things in the ad, but if you go and check it out and it's good, 13K would be fine.
