QuestionI'm looking on-line at Japanese vehicles (used) for a vehicle I will need once I'm in South Africa. So far, what I'm seeing is that most of the cars from this one particular site I'm looking at are around 1999 -- 2000 time frame (with mileage varying from car to car).
All things being equal, what is a good rule of thumb to go by when buying one of these types of cars? For example, for a used car from year 2000, with, say 75 miles on it, what would a reasonable price be for such a vehicle.
I know it's hard to answer exactly but is there a ball park $ for this type of car?
Thank You!
AnswerHi Kerry,
When looking at older vehicles there is only one factor " CONDITION " miles - year - model - make - takes a back seat,,, a vehicle with 100K can be in much better condition than same with 50K,,, how to get value for your bucks becomes the key, and that is my expertise.
As for a ball park figure I cannot comment about prices in SA, but in the U.S. a car 10 - 15 years old in excellent condition $2000 to $2500 is not out of the question, I will be happy to help you along getting valid value ,,, buying any used car is a series of steps and it starts with this link on my website if interested http://www.usedcartips.org/TESTDRI.html
Let's do this, feel free to send me a link of any car that you have test driven and consider buying and I will check for red flags.
