Default what would you pay??

Just curious. I came across a 00' Electric Blue targa yesterday, with only a hair over 13K on it. The car looks like it came off the show room floor, with only two little nicks in the paint. On on the inner door, about 1'' long, and one on the pass. door, on the top where the door meats the car. Guy said make an offer. I have heard that he is looking for $29K. KBB shows 22K for the car.

Do you have any info on the history? Is it the original owner, does he have service receipts for all of the recommended service? If yes to both I would def say high twenties. KBB is just one source... but I'd say $22K would be a steal if it's a clean car with a clean history.

U need to find out more details about the car before yo make an offer. Start with the VIN, Carfax, perhaps a dealers service records, etc. Then based on your findings! U make the call! Good Luck!

i thought electron blue were only sold in 02 and 03.

are you sure about the color? or maybe the year is wrong..
that could explain the price he's asking for, 29,000 is about right for an 02..

Car is paid off. Get 200 crisp $100 bills and put that in his face. Have a check book ready to add a few more thousand if needed.

If its an 00 it could be Navy Metallic Blue which is a darker shade than Electron Blue or Nassau Blue which is a lighter shade. Electron Blue was only available in 02 and 03.

I'd offer 25K sight unseen and then go up from there. Anything over 28.5k I think would be too much.
