Hi All,

I was toxic by the v8 vantage since the first day I saw one on the street back in '06. It would always on my mind if one day I could own one. Now I am ready to buy one (used). I found this '09 Vantage on the ebay yesterday. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/09-As...t_19230wt_1165
I need all of your opinion on this car (price and condition).
I took some careful look on those pics dealer posted on the ebay. The Driver side door's leather and the driver seat seems have some leather damages.
Since this is the first used car I am going to buy. Is there anything I need to know on bargain the price with the dealer? and how's the processor to buy a used car with dealer?

Thank you all!

 

I am interested in similar speced car (different colors) from a private party. He asking a similar price and I considering an offer. I would think offering high 80s/low 90s and see what happens. They way I look at it a 09 is depreciating about 1K per month and it cost them about $500/month to finance the car, so if high 80s/low 90s do not buy the car by April it will.

 

its an aston dealer so they should be able to inspect it and give a accurate description. ask specific questions and decide if you can accept it.

 

millsjq, thanks for your info. do you think we can ask them for low 90s if they are asking for 99k? Please keep me in the loop if you do get a good deal of it. Good Luck!!
OKB, Thanks for your reply. since they are an aston dealer and also the dealer who sell this car, do you think I should get a car inspector from outside to get a fair report regarding this car's?

 

You have nothing to lose by asking. They can always quote you a higher number. Buying cars is about negotiating, and the boys at the AM dealerships are not used to an economy that keeps them from selling the amount of cars that they are used to.

Good luck, and keep us informed.

 

Thanks Banton for such a good advise. This is my first used car negotiation. hope I can get it on a good deal...I will keep you inform. Thanks again!
