I'm in southern California. I'm looking for something with a smartkey, F/R side curtain airbags, and leather seats. Bluetooth would be nice too, but I can always drop in a radio for that later. My price range is ~$6000-$10000, which according to kbb is something that has ~50k-150k. I'm not really deterred by potential repairs, so if you have something with a bad battery or trans and want more than what you'll get from the dealer hit me up.
I'm giving this an optimistic "gas prices are going down" bump. I'm also willing to take a crack at cars needing serious work for even less. For instance if someone has a gen 2 with 200k miles and the transmission or battery went out, I'd be willing to grab it for ~$4+k.
I will be looking to sell my '04 as soon as my 2012 arrives. I am in S. AZ and would consider driving over to you if you are interested. PM me if interested.
I'm giving this another "gas prices are still going down slowly" bump. I'll probably have $10k in hand as of this weekend (Just bought a house and I'm waiting for the difference from escrow). Like I mentioned before, I'm in socal, looking for a gen II that's ~$6k to $10k (depending on mileage/features). I'll consider vehicles with problems for less than that as long as I can look them over thoroughly before hand.
I'm giving this a 3rd "Gas prices are finally going the F down" bump. Spot prices in LA are down to ~$2.60/gallon from a high of ~$3.70, and with all the refineries back up it doesn't look like they'll be going up much going into winter. I've got ~$10k and I'm looking for an 04-09.
