Well I should be able to talk them down, no price is set in stone usually. What would be a good price to pay? How does the car look otherwise?

Too much ... without looking very hard I've found 03's with close to the same mileage for the same asking price and other 01's the same color as that one with 15-20 thousand fewer miles for less than that "no hassle" price. As far as condition, one thing I noticed is that you never see the HVAC display lit up in any of the pictures.

21k with 88 K miles is way too high in this market. My 01 has 90 k miles on it and I could not get a bite at 17.5k I would not go higher than 17 on a car with over 80k miles and I own one!

I would try to get it for $18k Out The Door.... The car looks really nice. They might work with you depending on how much they have in to it.

Well, my E36 M3 was just totalled, so I will have to see what the insurance company gives me. I know for a fact that I will not get back enough cash to buy a Z outright, so my only options are a dealer pretty much right?

If you find a personal seller and you don't have all of the cash, chk with your bank for a small personal loan / car loan for the rest. If your cred is good you shouldn't have a problem.

Even with this economy? I would rather buy from a personal seller as the prices seem much better, I bought my M3 that way. But that was two years ago when everything was fine and anyone could get approved for anything...

Like I said, if you have good cred then you should be okay. In fact, my buddy got a small car loan this afternoon for a truck he bought.
