A car is only worth what people are willing to pay for it. What's more baffling is why people are still willing to pay that much for a 20 year old car.
This works 90%of the time. It got me Hella deals on parts when I was living in Florida.
this!new york car, ehhhhhhhhhhhh, look under the car for rust, new york cars or horrible. and 230k on body is ALOT of miles, make sure all the bushings are good, and make sure it was lowered with legit s**t, and not some ebay s**t. or even worse cut springs, pics can make just about any car look nice, but you cant hide anything in person. iv drove a hour and half to look at a car i thought looked mint . and i get there and it was a complete junker. Go over it with a fine tooth comb and point out any flaws you see. that way you have a reason to knock his price down. if the paint looks like s**t, tell him, if you see a bunch of bootleg wires under the hood from that swap, tell him. if something inside is broke tell him, etc.. and when you test drive it, make sure you get it up to operational temp to make sure its not running hot, or leaking anything. and make sure to go thru every gear and reverse to make sure the tranny is good. also check to see if all the lights come one on the dash when you turn the key over like the check engine etc. make sure they havent took the bulb out to make it look like it has no issues. i bought a car where someone did that. pissed me off. thats my 2 cents on it.
