imo they do overprice, like once they had a crx there for like $8,000, the value of a perfect crx with less than 1,000 miles is like 4-5,000 (blue book value)

Tippit's is shady from what I've seen. But if you go in there with enough attitude and know your shit they shouldn't be able to screw you over..

I'd look somewhere else though.

i'd be damned if i ever bought a 100k mile car for $7k, you know that dsm was worn down.. that's not a good deal, research more eh.

edit::

it'd be a better deal buying a 1st Gen Awd Tsi/GSX for 1,500...

Eh, I offered 6k cash right then and there but the lowest they would go was 6.4k. Which I might have gone for but then there was an additional 400 in fees so I said screw it and walked out.

I wouldnt trust them, looked at a few cars there out of curiosity... had one Civic being fakely sold as an Si when it wasnt, I think the dude makes his big bucks off of making cars look all sweet and badass...

He told me that that Civic Si would kick my Camaro SS's ass, even though it was 100% stock! Of course, when I pointed out that was the car I drove there, and that I'd race him right now, he bailed. Yes, and this was the owner I talked to :P Soon as I heard that I just laughed and left...

I bought my CX from them. Only place with a clean CX. I wouldn't finance through them, but if you find a clean car at a decent price, why not buy it?

Bought mine with 97k on it back in June of 02. It now has 112k miles on it and all I did to it was change the oil a few times and charge the A/C system.

I agree that there were some cars there that I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. But I'm happy with my purchase.

I bought a 88 crx si with over 225k miles from them. True like my man said I was mad cautious cause most of the cars there were way overpriced, and a few were obvious salvage jobs that were priced as high as the rest. The crx I bought was in pretty crappy condition and there were selling it for 1500. The car was solid and only one rust patch but the engine needs work and a lot of cosmetic work. I was able to talk the price down $300 but that's because I did my homework. I know I still got ripped off but I wanted that car and needed it quick. Just make sure you know what car your buying in and out and take it to a tuner or stealership just to be sure it's tip top. Don't finance through them unless you have a lawyer explain the terms to you in plain english but that's true with any dealership around here. Well good luck!
