can some one give me any info if this is a good deal or does the car fax and mileage seem sketchy for the price?

thoughts?

Elapsed mileage of only 157miles since 2004 looks sketchy. Price is good and car looks good. See if the dealer has any contact info for the previous owner.

im gonna find out tomorrow ,my only assumption would be considering it was Pa owned and held at a auction twice is that it was not used much at all ,in Pa it might of been a sit car for some one who had a house in Pennsylvania ,mainly cars from Pennsylvania do not have alot of tear and are strictly highway miles because its the woods ..from 105,100 to the extra 157 miles added on in 5 years 157 miles is the base distance from new jersey to Pennsylvania maybe a lil more or less depends on the area ..i have a decent level mechanic to check it out..

3 things i noticed

the description does not say if it has A/C or not
also the bose system does not appear in the pic neither the frame for the cd

and how much do you think it would be to clean up the paint chipping on the front and rear bumper

for a 1996 at $1995 (talk possibly down to 1650 cash) if the 105k miles is legit and mechanically fine i would consider it a good deal but im just not 100% with knowledge besides the basics on cars

They all came equipped with A/C.
Someone has installed an aftermarket stereo, in place of the Bose.
You're probably looking at a few hundred dollars or more to repaint the bumpers, just depends on where you get it done and how well of a job you want.

i passed on that one the car ran decent but the exterior was very poor and need lots of body work

this other one i found looked alot cleaner and same price even negotiable 1850-1900
but it has 140k miles

thanks again for replying bro

It looks good. I'd be more interested in buying from an individual than a lot. At least the individual can produce maintenance receipts, and most honest people will be up front about potential issues with the car.

Hey max i tried to inbox you but i couldn't

i checked out the car the exterior looked in good shape to me unlike the first one,leather was clean,ac and everything working ...No check engine light ,sounded pretty silent ,didnt feel any hiccups

needs a front motor mount(could probably get used from old or brand new ) 35-85$ if thats all it was but i am no mechanic to tell... as the dealer blatantly told me about that and could use some new break pads

i have the car fax shows 2 owners and no floods and severe damages ..

2 accident reported on was hit a parked car fender bender in 2002 and one was a primary damage i dono what that means but it was side of the car that was stated on the carfax but in person there was only one indication of a blemish from some type of side swipe.

1950 is the flat call and cash im offering what do you think?
