Are you doing sexual favors for the seller?
Maybe the car is stolen/salvaged

OMG, for that price there are several causes.

1) the engine is shit... have them start the car, look to see the color of exhaust comming out, listen to see if the idle is constant, and that it doesnt sound like a Salsa band...

2) the person is selling the car from a bitter divorce or breakup...ive seen that happen before

well i dunno its fishy.. is the ad online or anything? id get in contact with the person and find out how he car has been maintanined...

good luck

I'm a car dealer. If the miles are in the 100,000 range, and there is no adnormal wear or signs of abuse, then it sould retail for about $6250. Maybe more if it's really nice.

Just to give you an idea of the STUPID deal you're getting. A buddy of mine just bought a 94 LS with all the same stuff on it. 125,000 on it. He paid $5500 I think it was. He had to look hard and wide to find one that cheap. He looked for three months before he bought that one.
