Yea that price for the cavalier I'm still tryin to figure out with the guy. Why so low maybe he swapped the engine or what not.

As for asking $10,500, if the dealership is asking $12,995 for a car they only paid about $8,000 for they aren't gonna turn around and sell it for what they got it for because they're not making any money. We're trying to meet them at half and be reasonable about it. Cuz if we walk in there tomorrow and say we know you paid $8,000 for it and thats what we'll give you for it. They'll turn around say no we're gonna sell it to someone else thats a ridiculous offer and some other crap. I'm fine with the dealership making SOME money but I'm sure as hell not gonna pay $12,995. They don't need to make $4,000 on it.

 

Buy basic transportation.
Much better to go with a new Sunfire/Cav for $12,000 right off the lot with a full warranty than to inheret someone else's problem's and be financing it.

Tib's are very expensive on insurance and Z24 and GT Sunfire's are pretty high also.

4dr new civic or sunfire/cavalier are the way to go IMO. New, cheap, reliable, and a warranty.

 

If I wanted a 4dr family type vehicle I'd look at them. If I wanted something thats gonna have more than just me in the vehicle I'd buy that type of car. I want a 2 dr sport model car I plan to own this car for a couple years and to rice it out. I'm not into the whole family thing. Half the time regardless of who I'm seeing or my friends etc its only me in my car. I don't like 4drs. I HATE CIVICS better yet I HATE HONDA'S.

We go the insurance quote on what the tiburon would be and it would cost me $180 a month full coverage. That's pretty friggin good to me considering I used to pay $250 a month with no collision for my 1987 Z24. Don't forget men's insurance is higher I'm not a guy. I have my full G licence (knocks it down even a bit), I'm 21 (also knocks it). etc etc etc blah blah blah.

I don't want a 4dr new cavalier the sunfire's are god ugly [img]graemlins/puke.gif[/img] . I don't even want a new 2dr cavy. I have a specific style I'm looking for, for a reason.

We went to the dealer today took it out again drove great sound system was great, price was not. They wouldn't budge on their $12,995. We started at $10,500, gave 'em a max of $11,500 considering the cars only worth 8-9,000. Still no so we said thank you but goodbye. He went on how auto trader has them listed for much more than them, well thats nice $10 says they won't sell very quickly especially when they have higher k. The guy also went over a list of things they spent on the car when they got it. They put 4 new tires on it. Who needs new tires at 47,000k ??? My moms old 2001 Corolla had 70,000 k when she sold it STILL on the original tires with no problems. So something is sketchy on that tiburon. They also apparently put in a new ball joint and some other things. So something is fishy with it. So that vehicle is a no go.

Dukk you're absolutely right and that's what we're doin. Bry also has contacts and what not with some wholesalers and other dealerships the owner of the Acura dealer he works for owns 4 other one's. There's nothin at the moment unfortunately on his lot but he's looking around and gonna find me a good deal in what I am lookin for. He's how I got my 1987 Z24 3 years ago for $1,200 when he worked for Toyota in Ottawa. The car had 114,000k on it when I bought it from his dealership. And I got $700 for it yesterday.

So we'll see what happens, I need somethin soon though because its getting harder to accomodate commuting in this house hold with everyone's hours being different. Especially since I work 2 jobs right now.

 

I used to think that too, but I've been driving my standard car for about 3-4 years, and well...driving in rush hour traffic in TO is absolutley ridiculous. I love driving manual, but sometimes I just wanna chop my legs off. My next car is going to be automatic for sure, I don't care how pansy it is lol.

And I hate having to worry about the clutch going eventually. I'm more comfortable in an automatic even tho standards are more fun. Especially with the style cars I'm looking for. But truth be told and in all honesty. I just don't want another standard. I had my fun.

And if for whatever reason my mum needs to drive the car she can't drive standard and there's no way she'll ever learn either we've already tried several times including in the past when dad owned them. So standard just isn't an option. What do you do when you get trashed at a party and your friend is totally sober but can't drive standard and you were the one that drove. Not an option sorry.

you put it in nutetral and put the hazards on and start pushing. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] best way to drive a stick.

 

Rrrightt.....

 

Ok... so you can get that White Cavalier up there for $4500 and you're looking at picking up a Tiburon for over $10k? ...

youcrazy... buy the Cavalier...

 

4500 dollar Cavalier... Why do I get the feeling that that thing will probably break down or have problems soon. It's a cheap car to begind with and you get what you pay for. I don't mind the way the Tiburon's look but, I don't know if I'd ever want one of those either.

I'd also agree with Dukk's idea.
