I know the owner does not feel that the brakes need replacing though.
I've been searching within a 150 mile radius of my home for a car that meets my criteria and this is the only one I see.
Pros..........2006 Blue, roadster, automatic, clean title (no wrecks), good body condition.
Cons.........71,000 miles (higher than I would have liked to find), engine compartment is very dirty (maybe it just needs some TLC) two tone interior Black/vanilla is very dirty (maybe just needs cleaned but I would be upset if the dirty vanilla didn't brighten up real nice when cleaned)
Current owner has come down $2000 from his original asking price so far and I feel that he is nearing his point of telling me to take a hike but I do not want to over pay for this car. On the other hand he has had this car for sale for 6 months. I have no issue paying fair market value though.
What to do.....what to do....Hmmmmm??????
