A quick question...since I resolved my other vehicle issues, I no longer have an absolute need for the '98 'tour that I posted about a few weeks back.
I never pulled the trigger on the purchase, and it is still on the lot. In a nutshell, it the 2.5l with MTX, has leather and the sunroof, good tires, wasn't hit until a lot jockey scraped the rear door across some other vehicle- no other signs of prior damage. Passenger side mirror is dead as is the CD player (radio still works). No indications the car was ever smoked in. Dealer appears to have taken it in trade from the original owner based on DOT info I pulled. Unknown whether the water pump has been replaced. Odometer shows about 66K miles.
I'm guessing I could take it off the lot for under $5K, and possibly as little as $4500 (plus TTL). Online book values are always overly optimistic, but others of that vintage appear to be pricing on local lots for $7-8K.
OK, maybe the set-up wasn't so quick, but does this sound like something I could conceivably flip for $6-7K if I snagged it and decided not to hang onto it in the next month or so?
