Default 2001 Vert

I just bought a 2001 Quicksilver vert with 18,000 miles, all options except selective ride, extended warantee till 2008. The car is absolutely flawless. Paid 27,400, good price? Will post pics later.

I paid $5K more just 8 months ago with twice the miles, so I would say yes. I did attach value to the mods since they were ones I wanted.

Yes - sounds like a nice car at a fair price. Enjoy your car and miles and miles of smiles to you!

One question though - what if we said it wasn't a fair price and that you got ripped off? Could you or would you take the car back and demand a refund?

" Paid 27,400, good price? "

You already answered that question when you bought it!!!

Damned good price - less than I paid for that exact car in the coupe version...right down to color, miles, & warranty !
