Good Deal?

I am looking at a 2007 Civic Si with 11,000 miles on it. The guy us asking $14,500. Haven't seen the car in person yet, but looks to in great condition.

Do yall think this a good price? Also when I go look at it, is there anything I need to look out for?

Re: Good Deal?

well yeah seems good but i remember the early years of si had some problems. i would drive it first and make sure the trans is shifting properly. also why are the miles so low, it should have at least 20k by now. underdriven cars can have alot of problems too.

Re: Good Deal?

Yes I have been emailing the guy back and forth. I will ask him, also by the pics it looks like the front rotors have rust. So I know it hasn't been drove in a while. But yea I will drive before I buy.

Here is a link to it.

Re: Good Deal?

you may even want to ask if you can test drive the car for a day before deciding just to be sure theres no problems. you can also then look it over at your leisure and make sure everything looks okay under the hood and car.

Re: Good Deal?

Take it to a pro and have it looked at... the price seems a little low.... if it's to good to be true... than maybe it's not true.

Re: Good Deal?

Yea I may ask him if I can do take it and look at it on my on time. I doubt I take it to mechanic to have them look at it though. Not saying thats a bad idea, but I know all the basic things to look for, and have access to a lift.
I checked on KBB and it is about 2000 under retail. I asked why he was selling and he responded with "need the money"
