$16k-$17k is way too much... personaly I wouldn't go any higher than $12k-$13k if it was in perfect working order... have the car checked out by a competent mechanic

 

i would just get a different one that wasnt rebuilt

 

i wouldnt pay more then 13k

 

Sounds high, their was one rebbuilt on www.mievo.net for 12-13k if I remember. I sold my dead mint 04 55k miles and built well for 23k 2 years ago. I bought my salvaged/rebuilt 2005 Scion xb for 7.5k when at the time used they were normally 12-13,000.

 

so dangerous
