Is This Right??

[Nate's Alero]

My Grandfather Wants $9000 For A Red Alero That Has 33479 Miles And Is In Decent Running Shape But In Fair Physical Shape,(Paint Cracked, Faded, And Weather Beaten) Should I Go Along With This Or Say F*** It?

(No Other Aleros Are Around For Sale)

[ares89]

value calculators say my 01 with 55XXX is worth $6000, may be high by like... $1-2K.. Try talking him down..

[[ion] C2]

that's some pretty low mileage.

also, turn off your CAPS LOCK, that is why all of your words are appearing with only the first letter capitalized, it's a filter to eliminate the annoying posts with ALL CAPS

Sorry Thats Actually How i Type i Know Its A Bad Habit.....

[TheEdgeofSanity]

i'd say that its high but not by that much...what year is this alero? what kind of options does it have? it all depends..

i'd say that it would be worth at least 7-8k.

You Say You Type Like This All The Time But All The Sigs That You Have And Have Seemed To Type Out Yourself Are typed normal like this..

Is it really that hard of a habit to break? Just push a button, and it's gone! It's not like smoking :coolio:

Sorry, new at fourms and just started to bust out all of these threads! want to know any thing and everything about the 2000 alero 2.4L engine..!:)

[misslindseysue]

I just sold my red 2000 Alero (V6) for $3,000. Dealer would have given me "$1,000 maybe $1,500" for it. It was in good shape except for one rust spot. New hood (warranty), new tires, new belt, new wheel hub, dash fixed, etc, etc. But 118,000 miles.

Either way - $9k is a ripoff. You might find that on a dealer lot all cleaned up for $6k.

[AGT]

$9K is way too much. Tell him its worth $6K due to possible LIMG issues

[cherrington17]

do a bluebook estimate on it, and then go down a little in price.... for upkeep. learn to haggle! low ball, and slowly work up.


and no dealer will give him 9k for it. that's just nuts.

[Nate's Alero]

Sounds good, also there may be hidden problems with it concidering he only drives it 2 miles round trip about twice a month....

might shock the engine when i floor it :)

[cherrington17]

...so don't floor it...

drive like a sane person.

[goldalero99]

I'd say that is way high. I have a 99 that I bought with 30k miles a few months ago. I already had to replace the alternator and all the other usual stuff like the hazard switch, blower resistor. It's not really going to be worth more than the private-party blue book value if you had to sell it. Trade-in value is a lot less.

what one do u use????? the one i used said mine is worth 4,000 with the v6 loaded.........

[Nate's Alero]

I will do a blue book thing in a little while to see what it is worth...he is stubborn and probably wont back down (he already replace the alternator, bower motor, headlight sensor and a bunch of other crap..)

[alero_ecotec]

I wouldn't pay that much, not a chance. I paid just over 9k for my 2003 Ecotec, with 20,000 miles on it.

[Nate's Alero]

Car is only worth like 6.5K but he wont accept it!

[troyertrain]

Car is only worth like 6.5K but he wont accept it!

then, go get another car... don't let someone screw you over, especially a family member. it will only lead to problems between you two when something does go wrong (which sounds very likely)...

also, if the paint is all screwed up, its not even near worth that much. a good paintjob is $3,000 easy...

i was contemplating getting a new paint job too.... its because he hits the garage every time he parks, its not even his goddam car! its my brothers! but he wants nothing to do with it....such a jerk off...

How much did you pay for it?

[zzyzzx]

Then don't buy it.

[AGT]

Wait so your Grandfather is selling your Brother's car?

He wants 9000 because he owes more than its worth.

[paulyb]

then find a diffrent one, check craiglist and auto trader............

[lonnie]

I say wait on it..have patience. If he really wants to get rid of it then he will accept what ever you offer him. People usually say no to an initial offer because they think there are people lining up to buy that car, but wait until reality sets in, then offer less then you did before.

Lonnie is right. Have him go try to trade it in and get 9000. :lol:
