Dbl_D718 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I've been looking for a LGT for a long time now and just can't find any nice ones around me. Well I found one about 3 hours away and went to see it. I'd like some input on the deal they offered me. It's an 07 LGT Limited, manual trans, blue with tan leather, with 68k miles. It's in good condition overall; only a few scratches, one dent, and the interior is nice and clean. I really want the black interior though, so that's a negative. One of the plastic covers for the car-seat hooks in the back seat is broken too; how hard would it be to find a replacement? The big negative is that when I popped the hood, I noticed that both headlight brackets were missing a bolt and that the bumper cover didn't seem straight. I gave the bumper a little push and it slid back into place, so it's got to be missing at least one screw/bolt/something too. So when I ask them if it's been in a front-end accident, sure enough, CarFax says it was last year with "moderate" damage. Guess they weren't planning on mentioning that... Long story short, we got to $16,300 for the car and $4650 for my trade-in that they originally said was worth $2200. I wouldn't take that deal and left. So eliminating the number game, it looks like the price would be $13850 for the LGT if I assume my trade is worth the $2200. Is that a decent price given that the car's been in an accident and possibly not repaired the greatest?

slimfast Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 sounds like you should pass. wrong interior color, its had an accident and shoty repair work, plus sales people arent being upfront with you. if youre going to spend 14k on something you better be in love with it. thats what i think anyway. something better will come along.

Obsessotron Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I would pass, doesn't sound like a car that you could feel comfortable trusting down the line. Like slimfast said, something better will come along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbl_D718 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Yeah I after I slept on it, I decided to pass. I'm having a really hard time finding one reasonably close though. Any suggestions on locating one other than AutoTrader, eBay, and the local newspapers?
