Please Help: is this a good deal?

I am looking at this car:

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=183272677&dealer_id=56386109&car_year=1997&make=MIT&distance=300&lang=&max_price=&;

Do you think this is a good deal? I see it might need its 60k mile tuneup which is what... $800? I am guessing it is a base model, but I really am not sure. It says price is negotiable. What do you think?


THANKS! :cool:

yes it says it is a base model and that year of the base model only comes with a 161 hp engine..which IMO sucks especially compared to the Vr4 no offense or anything but..granted it is a 97..kinda high mileage..personally i dont think its worth it cuz i got my SL with 79k for 5500..but thats just my opinions on it

I wish I could find a sl with those miles for $5500. All the ones I see with those miles are like 7000-7500

This one looks nice. The description is alittle vague. I emailed them though.

This is his response:

NO damage.is not a SL.automatic transmission.yes,the shipping is free.
please let me know if you are still interested.
thanks

I do not know if it would be a good idea to pay, get it shipped without driving it, plus its not an sl?????????

I'll tell you right now if you want to go fast, this is not the deal for you....if you want to look good and nothing else then it's a good deal. I've driven that SOHC 160 hp piece of crap before, you hit the gas and you don't go anywhere, it's a big disappointment performance-wise, but it still looks sexy. Price, year, mileage-wise it's a good deal, close to what it should be, but always test drive first and check it out.

Well, for my first car I don't really need a fast car. I would be happy with any 3kgt. I would prefer a manual, and an sl, but I haven't been able to find one for this price and milage. How much more would a manual sl be? Also, its in miami and I am in TN, I would have to have it shipped without test driving it, which doesn't seem too good. It is really hard to find a good 3kgt deal though :(
