Do you think I should jump on a 2003 that had the warranty repaint with about 22k miles on it for $21,500. The owner said "increased the pipe size from 1 3/4 to 2 1/4 from the header (unchanged) to the rear tailpipe replacing the stock muffler with free flow style mufflers. There is NO moonroof or sunroof on this car. replace the tires at 18K miles with factory original ones. No accidents, non-smoker"
Or go with my other list of finds that are within the same distance:
2003 - 8521 mi - $23,991*
2003 - 16,000 mi - $24,500
2003 - 18,250 mi - $23,985
2003 - 15,702 mi - $21,995
Now this one I have a question on. This car is also the closest to me at only 117 miles away. The dealership said, when I asked about the paint, that the owner put a permaplate on it. (2003 - 11,547 mi - $25,995) So what is this permaplate and what is special about it? The salesman said it protected against the sun and bird poo.
*Also would anyonee have concerns about a car that, according to carfax, was originally sold and registered in Michigan, then traded in and the Mich. dealership sold the car to an auction in Missouri and then another dealership bought that car? I have asked that salesman to look on the underside of the car for rust because I was concerned about road salt from Michigan.
