How much is too much?
 

I found a 97 SVX LSI 45k red excellent condition. The person wants 11k should I go for it? good deal or bad?

They won't be able to sell it at that price very quickly. I'd talk them down to at least 9K...

timber sold his car to someone who has posted on the forum while you were away.

compared to what i paid for mine over a year and a half ago, it's a bargain. low mileage SVXs aren't easy to come by anymore. besides, it's only money. :)

Oh wow! And I missed it. :( Golly, I was on the Yahoo board when he bought it. I hate to have missed the occasion. I hope "Gina" found a good home.

It is some one here on this site that bought it. I gave them heck about taking away a Washington car. :)

hey randy could you send me a link to the yahoo board please. i would love to check that site out too.

If you go to the top of the page and click on the "SVX or Subaru Links," it's listed there.

I think he could easily get his asking price. The 97's are super rare, and the number of SVX's with less than 50k has got to be very small.

Very true - but never under estimate bargaining power and being able to wave cash infront of a person.

I'd start at 9K and maybe at most offer 10K. If he doesn't budge then walk away. Call him again in 3 weeks and see if he wants to talk. With gas prices as high as they are and the economy slowing down, it can take a while for someone to sell a car. A 10K offer would be very hard to turn down...

the bottom line:
 

How much is too much?

Any figure that's more than you're willing to pay.

Exactly, or, when the stress of the cost exceeds the level of enjoyment. :D
