New Aurora, Good idea???

[HARDTIMER]

Hello all, recently took out a curb w/ my 95 and broke the rim. Bought a new rim and replaced tie rod etc but still have the leaking trans issue. Also may be some frame damage. After some thought Ive decided not to even put anymore $$$ into it and just buy another one. I wanted a 99 anyway w/ a moonroof. Just found a lady who has a 97 w/ 53k miles on it. Its pearl white with NO moonroof but 4 that price I said screw a moonroof ($5,500). Going to take a peek at it on sat. and if its all she says it is im taking it. Bought my 95 in Apr. w/ 106k on it, it now has 113K on it so i think the 97 w 53k is a pretty good deal! What do you guys think??? Any other 97 owners??? How has it treated you??? Thinking of seeling my 95 to a friend of mines for 2000. Think im giving him a good deal??? Has new AC comp., engine is GREAT just that darn trans leak! Wanted to keep it for a parts car but dont have the room for it and my friend always loved it so...

well,i own a 95' aurora..i came across two 97's before i bought my 95..one was priced at $5,000 and the other $5,500..both had higher milage then the one your looking at..with only 53k,i think your getting a good deal..you can also compare prices in the kelly blue book..check her service records and see what kind of work she's done,make sure the vehicle has not been in any accidents..

Thanks alot for the input, really appreciate it. Whats the best way to check for accidents besides "asking". Really looking forward to getting another aurora, gonna miss my 95 but I want that GREAT RIDE again and the 95 just isnt the same to me anymore...Thanks again!!!

Do a search on google for the initials VIN and take your pick.
