RE: right price?
yeah, the car is 5spd. they had just got it in froma trade in and hadnt even givin it a good clean yet so they are cleaning it up and were gunna go see it tomorow and give them a price. now im thinking 12,500 is the max we'll offer them, if they dont take it were taking our deposit money back and walking away.

RE: right price?
If you can, pay for it all at once without financing and you should get the upper hand in haggling the price down. Aim for about $11,000.
no matter what you pay with, cash, or a loan, the person you're buying the car from is gonna get their money right away
just thought i'd throw that out there, taking a fat wad of cash might only work if the private party seller cant even wait for the loan to clear...but that is kind of rare

RE: right price?
Wow I really feel like I got a deal a couple years ago from a dealer. I got mine (02 GT) with 32,9xx miles for a little over 13k. I'm glad I got mine when I did. I love it to death too. That was two years ago I got it as well. If you keep looking around you might find a better deal.

if you really think about it,, this logic is falso, regardless of buying the vehicle from a dealer, OR a private party.
no matter what you pay with, cash, or a loan, the person you're buying the car from is gonna get their money right away

RE: right price?
I paid $10,800 for my 2001 with 42K. I bought it from a family friend. He bought a C6 and the dealer was going to give him $10,200 so I gave him the little extra he would have got from the trade's tax savings. It had gears, exhaust, and uninstalled rai included.
