Man this is one lucky buyer c32 sold cheap!

Unbelieveable! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

This made me wanna cry!I never would have thought this car would have gone for so cheap but then again I got my C43 back in Feb of 2004 for only 15k even from Ebay.It had 73k miles at the time and was and still is in excellent condition .Now it has 82k not including the 5.5L motor which has nearly 40k miles which was another item I got from Ebay for a buy now price of 5k.I even got shipping in the price by negotiating with the owner.

What a great deal for a c32! Gotta love Ebay!

not that great of deal with 79K. he's out of warranty, and he's either got to get those wheels refinished or spend another 3K getting something new!

the 17s OEM are only good for snow tires!

If the blower goes on that car it will probably be an expensive fix.

It has a new blower on it. And the problem with the reliability on these cars has nothing to do with miles. Everything is electrical related.

sounds like a pretty good deal to me... right below low wholesale value. If he went to trade it in tomorrow, a dealer would probably give him 19k for the car.

I saw that one on ebay before I bought mine.. Something about it just didn't seem right. I didn't like the visible scratches under the headlights.. not sure what would have caused that.. I just bought mine with 85k miles.. with starmark warranty.. (yes I am sure the warranty is still good I have checked) It was well taken care of and is in excellent condition. In so cal it seems like all cars have high miles.. will it self distruct after 100k miles? only time will tell.. I have had the car almost 1 month now, no problems, just pure joy.. (I will have to bookmark this post to see if I jinxed myself.. lol)

good price..

i would have it inspected prior to finalizing the sale.

if the tranny, kompresson, intercooler, engine, radiator, electrical, suspension, drivetrain. pass inspection

then yes.. good buy.

Imagine... $20k for a stock c32, add $5k and for about $25k, you can have a car with about 400hp/400lbs a real sleeper!
