oh- i am using blue book values to compare prices as well. AND i just found these cars today online- they are local to me- but i dont know lots of detail yet as im waiting for an email back. I may or may not go look at them in person if i think i can get a good deal...
Ive only owned one car so far-through college. its now 10yrs old & has 135,000miles on it. its been good so far, but i know im pushing it & id rather sell it now when i can still get something for it. Its a buyers market in the car industry at the moment. I am still on a college student budget, and dont want to buy BRAND new. Im looking for 1-2yrs old & some kinda of warranty remaining if possible. I have $5000 to put down on the car. Ive been looking at the Mazda 3 (black) & found one for sale for $12995, a 2007 with 35,000miles on it (Sirus radio, automatic everything, new $1500 tires) AND another one at the same price but only 13,000miles (but its a 2008 & silver). I dont know the exact models of each but they look great from pictures. I know price depends on a lot like general condition, features, etc. but for this car in excellent condition with automatic everything, cloth interior, spoiler... do you think this is a fair price? I want something with 30,000miles or less & very good condition. I dont want to get another budget car, but im not about to go buy a bmw! Thanks!
