People that can't afford the payments (and gets theri car repo'ed) are mostly the same people that can't afford the maintenance either. I'd definately proceed with caution.
I almost bought a 05 Mazda 3 Sport fully loaded (leather + moonroof + 5spd) back in 2006 for $11,000. I thought the price was really awesome. I had specifically asked the lot person if there were any accidents on the car. He said NO. I took the car for a spin, it drove striaght, engine was smooth, clutch was good. So I walked in to sign the papers. When filling the transfer form, they had declared the car had no prior accidents. Before I signed the dotted line, I asked for the ICBC report. I used their computer to buy a report and lord and behold, there was an eff-ing $12,000 claim on it. I'm like WTF? Needless to say, I demanded the sales contract to be voided and I walked out.
Shenmecar: You better check to see if the warranty on the tranny is still valid on the Accord V6. They're nice cars, but the trannies are built with glass. |
