A dealer is asking $2500 for a 91 used geo prizm with 156k on it.?

Question

What would be a reasonable offer in cash for this car.

Answer 1

Pass on it. There are better cars out there for that price. You don't want to have to rebuild an engine on that one. You'll have to junk it.

Answer 2

$50.

Answer 3

Geo Prizm? This car has no cash value whatsoever. Buy a Buick, instead. Any Buick.

Answer 4

I would find another car $2500 for a 17 yr old car with 156k what are they high.  If you do make a offer I would say $1500 take it or leave it.

Answer 5

$1500 with a full tank of gas. I'm selling my 2002 Olds Alero with 120k miles and nothing wrong with it for $800 more than than that car. I would start at $1200 to bargain, but no more than $1500. I think you can find better. If anything goes wrong with it you will have to shop junk yards for parts.

Answer 6

$700 is VERY reasonable no car that is 17yrs old is in ex condition

Answer 7

20% less than he's asking is a good place to start.

If it's a Buy Here Pay Here, "we finance anyone" type of dealer,  make it 30%.  

But you gotta have cash in hand.

Answer 8

no way  tell them you have beach front property in Nevada you will trade for it  way to high in miles and and to old

Answer 9

Nada says retail in excellent condition is only $2050.

I would offer $1700.

Answer 10

$2,500.00 is on the very high end of retail. Personally, I wouldn't give more than $1,000.00 but that doesn't mean you'll get it for that much. It's worth what they are willing to sell it for and what you're willing to pay for it.
