I am going to look at a 92 ssei today. It has 178k. The seats are badly worn, paint is average, missing an exhaust tip. The guy wants 3000 cert/e-tested. All power options work. How much do these cars go for where everyone else is?

With those miles and in that condition, less than 2k US. Not sure about

Pay close attention to how it shifts and locks up OD with those miles. Find the history of the trans if possible. SC too.

I find that price high for our location, I once thought about selling mine for not much more than that and it'* mostly repaired.

Will has good suggestions

I am going to go look in about half an hour, when you say check the history or the trans and SC, am I just wanting to know if the have been rebuilt?

Yes asking if they have been rebuilt whether the oil has been changed on a regular basis, if the */C coupler has been changed etc. I assume by your sig. that you're looking for a second Bonne? Those kilometers are fairly low for that year. That would be like driving just over 7000 miles per year. I find that ........well hard to believe.

Well im not impressed. I stopped to see the car last friday, there was no battery in the car so they told me to come back tuesday as that was best for them. I show up today and they still dont have a battery in the car. So I said well let me see inside the car. They are not able to open the doors. The key wont work in either the driver side or passenger side door. The power locks dont work because of the dead battery. At that point I just said forget about it.

Good plan....

Out of curiosity, was this a dealership??

Yes, he has about 10 cars. He just got this car, but if he isn't proffesional enough to show me a car when he says he wil, I am almost positive I don't want the car anyway.

i think that to much for a 92 at that price the car would need to be mint
