insurance is what screws me over

 

Ahh.... See, I put down a $1,000.00 down payment. That helped out a lot. Not to mention I talked the guy down from 10k, to 6k.

I know, I should be a salesman. I could talk people into any price of car.

nevertheless. I appreciate the replies.

Either that or they bought it at an auction for 3500.. cleaned it up, put it out for it's proper value, and have nearly a 6k mark up after detailing, body work, etc..

But I picked my 05' up this summer in Chicago IL, at a Nissan/Subaru dealership about 2 miles from my house for 18,900 + tax.. all stock besides a K&N drop in and 50k on the clock, and the previous owner was one of the salesman. So I got a free set of brand new tires, JDM license plate, not to mention the tasteful interior additions.

 

Very nice, and actually, I know the previous owner of the lancer I own now, he did the detailing himself, traded it off for a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart with the paddle shifter. Ugly car, imho. Nevertheless....

The upside to that car, is that I don't have tax in my state. I might go take a look at it, and make sure everything is stock. Is there anything I should look out for to see if it's really worth it, other than during the test drive?
