Too good to be true?
 

Was browsing the local auto trader magazine when I stumbled on this 98 4dr DX sedan w/ 83,000 miles. Yes it has a lot of miles, but do you think I could buy, tune it up and sell it for more then the asking price? KBB says it retails for like 7k, that's a wee bit high, figuring their are EXs in here for that with 70,000... but even 4500 for it would give me a 1500 dollar profit. I'm looking to buy a 95 EX coupe to work on, but still need money. See this as a steal. What do you think. Scanned the ad, link here:

surely theres something wrong with it... people don't sacrifice 4,000 on a 7,000 car.

but if your going to fix it up rice style you may end up replacing the bad parts neways.

by the way... welcome to honda style.

yea.. Welcome to HS

I wouldn't buy it and try to turn around and sell it... automotive market is not a good place for that...

Make sure the bottom of the add doesn't have small print... "prices after $2000 trade in or down Payment" i fell for that one and drove 50 mins to see a car I thought was a steal
