Thoughts on a car...

[Nomar06]

Just trying to see what peeps on the 9th think about this car....

Seems to be a decent deal, prob could talk him/her down a bit. Looking to get into a 4 door and can't seem to find anything that I like or think is reliable in the $16k price range so I started looking at Si sedans.

 

[Dar-Dar]

It looks like a good deal. The car seems 100% stock as well. Dang, I think it's worth it.

De-badged 'eh?

 

[NAFG2_KDMFTW]

Not bad.. not bad at all. PMM rocks.

 

[Nomar06]

my car is on craigslist, lol Hopefully something will come out of it.

 

[webby]

looks clean... might be worth looking at.

 

[Nomar06]

I forgot I had contacted him last night, lol. He emailed me back that it has a clean title but a couple accidents. Maybe small fender benders? I had one where someone tapped me in the rear but didn't report it. Maybe it is the same? Inquiring some more....

This is his/her email....persons name is Jesse.

Thank you for your interest in my civic. I have not run a carfax report, it has a clean title, and has had a couple accidents. There are no lingering effects from the accidents.

Regards

Since I have my Si on craigslist and never having sold anything there I will ask you all if you think these 2 emails are scammers.

Email #1

Hello,

Am interested in knowing more details on the availability of the subjected Vehicle, having taken a closer look at the ad i feel so interested, and would like to know if its still available for sale. do get back to me with details as well as more pictures would be appreciated.

Regards
Email #2

Hello may ponder potential 481-8472 leave me a msg

#1 might be a potential? #2 prob a scammer?

 

[webby]

#2 ignore,

#1 -ask what he'd like to know specifically (gauge response)

 

[Nomar06]

great minds think alike....shot email one a response that is basically what you said.

 

[Nomar06]

The person got back to me with more info on the accidents. 1) hit by a deer, just replaced the fog lamp. 2) got hit in the rear door, quarter panel, glass didn't break. Replaced the door, quarter panel and rear wheel.

Thoughts on the car now? Def a lower price....

 

[webby]

I'm not good at pricing with accidents. Some say that unless they show up on carfax it's not a big deal, while others say the value is diminished by any accident. If you trade it in down the line to a dealer, they'll usually be able to tell if it's been repaired in any way without it even showing on carfax. - lower price they'll pay in most situations.

I would have to see the car in person. Look down along body at the lines, door gaps, feel the door/windows how they open/close.

It is very hard to hide something from an observant eye.

 

[Nomar06]

Anyone in Lynchbutg VA? lol

 

[bootyluvr]

Be careful Nomar/Santiago! Don't want ya to get burned.

Anyone in Lynchbutg VA? lol

I think it's Lynchburg, VA but I'm too far away (228 mi, 4 hours 39 mins)

Santiago, I sold my Z through craigslist. I got a lot of hits on it but I would be leary of those two.

Yup. You were patient and it worked out for you plus a nice kid got it and you have saw it

Nomarz, have you looked at the Mazdaspeed6? Its a fun 4 door, and used ones are very affordable. My friend picked one up a year ago, Its a quality automobile.

Forgive me for asking this but why are you selling your SI for an SI. It's like going from a pair of gently used, nice looking retro Jordans in white and gray to a pair of gently used, nice looking retro Jordans in black and red.
