thinking bout buying a vr4

i got a 94 sl and i found a 92 vr4 for 8k. mint condition, nothing externally wrong with it, havent drove it yet but it looks so clean i fell in love with it th emoment i saw it. its maroon, white leather seats with dark leather door panels, ima test drive it tomm, so hopefully it runs well so i can sell mine for the downpayment. 8ks a great proce rite?? btw it has 137000 miles.

idk, i spent 8700 for a car r/t tt 92 with 58910miles on it. mine has a few problems. so make sure u listen to the engine both at speed and idle. the, make sure everything works. flip on and off every single switch, use the cruise control, if so equiped.
o and if i doesnt have cracked dash vents then count yourself lucky

yea man for sure ill keep ya posted.

seems high to me, for age and mileage.

if that's how many miles are on the entire thing(body, engine, tranny) i think you can do better on a price. a lot of the ones that i'm looking at right now have the engine or transmission rebuilt, and are still going for that price.

and, with that type of milage, you'll be looking at doing the 60k mile tune up here soon. i mean, it may have been done already, but i actually doubt it

_isiah

what is a reasonable price. i can do tune ups myself, i got a shop, so thast nota problem, actually looking foward to it. whats a good price to sell mine, i dont wanna sound lika dick but i wanna get the most outta my car (money wise) i just put a sweet kenwood system in it, its got full exaust, paints great, black 17s, a lot of miles but runs like new. is 5 - 6k too much, cuz i honestly think i can get that.

Yes that's too much. How much is a lot of miles? Mod's don't add value. I would think if it's in great shape and around 100k mi. you could get around 4k at most.

dam well ok then thatll still work. i can come up with teh rest i nee for the vr4. i dont no how much its really workth tho, 8k sounds likea lot for that age and milage. mayb 7 or 6? what do yall think?

first leaons in selling a car: a car is worth what the buyer pays for it. if u get 50g, then it's worth 50g. obviously this is nt that kinda case
if u dnt mind doing work, i would say ask him wwat the lowest he would go with, offer 200 less, and see wat he says. if they've been attempting to sell it for a while, he may agree to it. if not bargin

See if you could talk the guy down to 5 grand at least...

As has been said, the car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. 8K seems a bit high, but if it is in MINT shape, its not an unreasonable asking price (or at least a place to start from). I'm of the opinion that I'd offer about five thousand and go from there.

hmm should i start at 5 and find a mid point? cuz i can sell MY car for that much, prolly more. shit i bought it for that much 30k miles ago, minus a system and rims. anywho, i went back today, and turned that car on and gave it a walk through, its missing a turn signal but its coming in he said hell put it in, o and he said that a fuse isnt connected and the lights dont flip up, cuz the guy change dthe front bumber and forgot to connect something, i dunno, help there would be nice. ummmmmmm pros. stage 3 cluthc, ( he didnt tell me but i no just by felling it), short shift kit, chrome intake (y pipe only) and exaust. paints great. man guys, if i can talk hime down to 6500 or even 7000 then we r in business.

still lotsa miles for the buck. you had a chance to really go balls out with it? i never did, and i come to find out that sumthin was nessed up and it bogs out arount 5500 RPMS, jus be careful, don't let your excitement cloud your judgement

yea true, no i havent drive just turned it on and reved it a lil. sounds great tho. but for sure ima take it for a 'spin' whne i go next time, i would have today but there was a truck parked in front and the owner had left, so yea. so 5 - 6gs sounds about right?

Haha yeah dont let the dark force take over your mind, use the force........

yea and in the end, if i get jipped then ill just stab him in the throat with a pencil and call it even :)

Hmm word to the wise, thats the kinda car i would def. take to a trusted mechanic to get checked out, then i would decide how much I am willing to pay for that car, you never want to pay 7 grand for a lemon, then end up with 5 grand worth of work still needed...

yea, true that. u think the guy will be cool with me taking it out to a mechanic?

Listen, from this point on till you die, if the person you are buying any car from, civic, 3000GT, pinto, gallardo doesnt matter, anyone is a hesitant to let you take the car to a mechanic, especially if you bring him with or something like that, then that car definitely is going to bite you in the ass, be careful....

yea ok gotcha. kool man thanks

anything i should be looking for whne im driving it? anything thats a normal problem for vr4s that age and milage?

it just depends on how it was driven. my car has 62k on it, but isnt even running right now, it has a shit load of problems. every car is different. just the engine and trans.
nd yea bring it to a trusted mech

Check the brakes, see how the clutch is hopefully no grinding, no gears popping out, make sure there is no spilled fluids in the engine bay, check all fluids, tire thread, check all electical a/c headlights, interior lights, fogs, look for a check engine light or any warning light. Make sure all windows locks alarm is in working condition. Listen to the motor closely to hear any knocking or ticking, press the pedal to make sure turbos spool up fine. Other than that I would just let the mechanic see the car to go a little bit more in depth, but this is what i can think of to do on the top of my head, question anything and everything the person your buying from, i mean pick his brains out to make sure you know everything there is needed to know about the car.

Yes that's too much. How much is a lot of miles? Mod's don't add value. I would think if it's in great shape and around 100k mi. you could get around 4k at most.

i think you could easily get 5 maybe 6 for depending on the condition of it, i sold my sl about 3 weeks ago with 161k miles and leaking valve seals and i got 4500 for it...

anything i should be looking for whne im driving it? anything thats a normal problem for vr4s that age and milage?

could be wrong but this might be in the FAQ :uhoh:

yea some dude said hell buy it for 6.5 the other day, but he needs a few days to come up with the money, but yea, its up for sale as of yet, im not gonn amke the sale final until i have make sure the vr4s gonna be mine. hey quick question, how would i be able to tell whne i throttle it up if the turbos are spooling good?

Look for shaft play from the turbos, umm other than I dont know go to youtube and listen to how stock vr4 turbos sound if you can.
