You are all AMAZING! You have great advice for people and I would like to tap you for a little more.
Here's my scenario. I know a lady who purchased a gold 2002 300es brand new back in the day. I have loved this car for as long as I can remember. About 6 months ago, I told her to let me know if she decided to sell it. Well, the email arrived yesterday. She wants to sell it, not because there's anything wrong, but more because SHE is sick of the car. She's a high paid judge and probably just wants to get another, newer Lexus. Can you blame her?
She's asking $9,000 for it. It's very nice, very little knicks, ets. The interior is spotless. It's the 'upgraded' model with Navigation, etc. It has 67,000 miles on it. It has NOT had the timing belt changed. Tires are good, etc.
Do you think that I should jump on the deal or offer less, say $8,000 or less?
I work with the woman and don't want to *BLEEP* her off, but I feel that $9,000 is on the high end of "normal".
Thoughts?
