Clear title? Maintenance history? Accident history? All factors in determining a good deal.

Was the price $16,000 or $16,000 + $16,000?

come on guys - stop riding me!

No accidents, clear title, and looks well maintained (I would eat dinner off the engine compartment)!

Good price or not ($16K)?

I'd say that is a pretty good deal. Not bad mileage and as you describe it, well maintained.

Welcome jah, you did fine on your first deal. The problem with asking the question here is prices are different all over the country. You are also fighting the fact that some here have waited or walked into the deal of a life time and that then becomes the new low price. If you brought your new car up to Washington, you could get 18k for it, if it's as nice as you say.

Now, sit back, learn what you can about it on this site and simply enjoy your new car, your going to love it.

most of these guys think a good deal is when you get it for free.
