I would say you may not find many advertised at that price, but you should be able to get on for in that range with a little negotiaion.

Depends how far you are willing to travel/look.

Hans lives in Idaho..and found one in Cali for under 5K IIRC. However it needed a trans and many other things. He didn't keep it long.

If you're willing to drive up to Grand Rapids, a guy posted his black '00 SSEi on Craigslist ASKING for $6500. Looks pretty sweet...

Yeah. I have a feeling that he had some random issue, and the dealer reprogrammed his PCM or something. I doubt he had it filled with trouble codes.

I'd consider it myself, if my new car budget wasn't $1,000. I guess what'* what I get for getting married, buying a house, having a kid...

I know in Minnesota (Southwest of Minneapolis) there is a 2002 SSEi w/130-150k on it for $6000. Looks to be a sweet ride too.

Near me there is a dark green 03 SSEi with 60-80k (I forget) and the lot wants $5995.00. I stopped and looked it over and it looked great, I can't see why it hasn't sold. Thats just 6k I'll spend to make my Bonne faster and more reliable.
