I'll move this topic to General Chat for you. This section is reserved for mechanical problems only.

some of that depends on what area you live in, best thing to do is just look at online car ads and get a feel for what the going price is for your region... But anways, that seems kinda low for a 2000+ SSEi, but if the miles are high, you might come across one for that price

I just picked up a 2003 SSEi with 123,000 miles on it for $11,000 out the door. We did pay a little much for it, but IMO it was worth it

I have seen them go for around $6 - $7 grand, but not in my area......

Basically, if you do alot of shopping around and don't jump the gun I know, I know, I am still learning.... you could probably get a pretty good deal on one.

5k buys you a 2000 ssei with 150K+

a 2000+ with 100k is usually 7-12k depending on condition..thats the private party bluebook...ocassionaly there are deals

I certainly wouldnt trust a 2000+ Bonneville if it cost $5000.

Possibly the best deal I've seen lately is $8990 for a 2003 SSEi with 103K.

I'd be budgetting minimum $8000 for a decent one. However, you can get an SE trim level 2000+ model for your price range.

First post--so it seems fitting to post what mine cost.

2003 Bonneville SSEI, 53K, $9600. Purchased last Tuesday.

It was traded in at a Hyundai dealership. Pristine shape. It was marked down from $12.5K.
