Re: New Guy Looking For Advice.
Good advice for buying a used car? Numero uno: Inspect the car closely and make note of every little individual problem i.e. tear in the seat, chips in the paint, etc... By doing that, it gives you backing for takling the price down. If they're asking 5000, you could probably get it for less than 4Black \'94 Trans Am A4- SLP CAI & Loudmouth<br />Red \'93 Firebird A4- Ram Air under the WS6 hood, !cat, exhaust.

Re: New Guy Looking For Advice.
power windows and t-top seals are obvious. If you take it on a test drive and its an auto pay attention to the shift into second out of first. Listen for rattles on the interior. Nothing big and most can be fixed easily, but they do get annoying. Plan on replacing speakers if its got monsoon. $5k sounds good though.

Re: New Guy Looking For Advice.
wanted 5k for my 98 manual with 120k... i talked them to 4k after everything, car was in excellent condition. one owner the whole 120k miles. so that sounds like a good price to me. pretty much if it seems ok with u then get it, but everthing like window motors and stuff like that can be fixed easily. but i would check the ttops for sure. maybe u can take it to a car wash if they don't car and just let water run over the top. good luck

check the front bumper for chips and spiderwebs, its almost guaranteed there will be some. good negotiating point.
