Re: Roadster prices ?

I paid $19.2k for my 08 Roadster brand new back in January. It had 36 miles on it when I got it.

19K for a 2008...boy that was a great price. I purchased my 2007 last July with 12K miles on it for $20K. I live in the northeast and not too many crossfire's around.

I bought mine brand new from a dealer out west. IT cost $500 to get it shipped here, but I still think it was a heck of a deal.

Re: Roadster prices ?

7/7/07 we bought ours new for just over 30K.. handful of test drive miles on it. Sticker was just over $42,000. Today's KBB B.S. value is around 12 or 13.

As for buying a New/Used car... tell them "your" bottom dollar...out the door price. They're working for you... not the other way around. They need your business... there's a lot of other car lots out there to choose from if they don't feel the same way. I did back in April when I bought a 09' Chevy HHR (daily driver... great on gas) and ended up my total price right at $3,000 less than KBB... which KBB is total BS anyway and any dealer that goes by KBB for their sales and trades is a crook! A lot of your larger dealers have switched to "Fair Market Pricing" which they go online and look at what other dealers in your area are selling cars like you're looking at and base their value on that.

Same here ,but your in the MTN. alot nice roads to drive, about the same here in Kentuky ,Doc in Ind all flat land, like running the 1/4 mile every day

So true... many good roads to cruise around these parts.

I bet the fuel economy is better out on the "flat land" as well. We have to climb a lot of hills anywhere we go.

2006 Roadster advertised in the Kansas City Star for $13995. No pictures, but it is a private seller and is described as "extremely nice" with "low miles".

Re: Roadster prices ?

Bought my 05 a little over a year ago here in NW Ohio..18k with 8,000 miles on it and looks like brand new. There are not a lot of low mileage xfire Roadsters here in this neck o the woods..especially at the prices some are mentioning. I think the" real deal "used Roadsters are becoming scarce........

Re: Roadster prices ?

I brought my 05 Roadster home 362 days ago. 13,351 miles on it then for $17,645 ... a little on the high side, but the guy had babied it like no car I've ever owned.

I felt very comfortable with it and HAD to bring it home. No regrets.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Bobbie looked for her roadster for 4 months. Every time we found one by the time we got there it was gone. Gave us time do real research and know what she wanted. Finally found an 06 in Tampa with just over 8k on it and bought it while we could. 15k.
