is buying a 2005 pt cruiser for 6000 a good deal?

Question

it was in a front end accident. but the seller specialises and refurbished cars. the accident didn't touch the front anxel only minor body damage. which will be completly repaired before I get it. The interior is in perfect condition and it has less than 50,000 milies on it. It is power everything and the seller gauretees it will pass inspection when he is done.

Answer 1

Yes, it is a good deal even on the base model. And if it is a touring edition or higher even better. I agree with the answers above mine, it is a good idea to have it checked out by a 3rd party just to make sure everything was done correctly and to have them verify that the frame is not bent or changed in any way. Also check the carfax report to verify how much damage there was and where the damage was located. If all of this is done, they are telling the truth about the car, and new inspection clears, I would recommend buying it.

You will be saving about $2800+ based on Black Book Value (This is the value that dealers use on trade in's. Blue book will be more.)

Answer 2

Make sure you get it checked fully. thats alot of miles for an 05. i bought my car an 05 with just under 21000 miles on it. i still say the price is too good to be true but im no expert. good luck. dont trust the sellers word fully, you cant trust people that much.

Answer 3

Go to carfax.com and get a report of that particular car using the VIN # or look up the estimated value at kbb.com (kelley blue book)

Answer 4

go to www.kbb.com and put in the info about the car and it will show the suggested retail value

Answer 5

bring it to a mechanic, check with www.kbb.com and then why would you want a pt cruiser?? eghhh.

Answer 6
