Buying a used car pricing advice/ paint-rust repair cost?
I'm looking at buying a 2000 HONDA PRELUDE: base model with the h22a4 vtec motor along with an automatic/tiptronic transmission with 116xxx miles on it. THE GOOD: black in color, tinted windows, tinted tailights, black interior(although clothe looks good), aftermaket greddy header back exhaust, cold air intake, stock rims and aftermarket 6 spoke motegi 17 rims. THE BAD: it has a faded carbonfiber hood along with some rust around two of the wheel wells, on a side note i was wondering how much it would cost to get the hood painted (you can paint over carbor fiber correct?) and rust removed and repainted? He is asking 4800 OBO which in stock condition is about $900 over value, do the pros out weigh the cons? I know i would not pay 4800 though i was thinking starting my offer at 4250 depending on how bad the hood/rust is… Any insight is appreciated! And i'm going to look at it in 4 days probably so if i could get an answer or two before then it would be very helpful!
Fixing the rust and paint will cost you as much as you're planning on paying for the car.
3-4 grand for the body work and paint.
- Why don't used cars seem to matter about the make in pricing? I see Hondas with more mileage and older than BMWs priced at the same price (meaning a 2004 BMW priced at the same as a 2004 Honda.) Why don't the prices fluctuate much for used cars, but it's immensely different for new cars?
- What happens if we use wurth rust remover spray on a car window rubber beading? I own a honda city, I put that on a honda othorised service centre about a problem with driver's side Window glass, it was not rising up properly, they used wurth rust off spray in the rubber beading, for smooth movement, but later after some days, the rubber is getting weaker and got cut
- Should I paint over a bad tear in my bumper, or order a new one and have the mechanics install it then have them paint it? I recently bought a used 1997 Honda Prelude. It's red and badly sun faded and has a bad tear on the rear bumper. I was wondering whether I should just have it painted over or order a whole new bumper and have the people at the shop install it and paint it for me. Any suggestions?
- Insurance and license plate pricing? I'm 16 years old and I live in Georgia. I was just wondering what the insurance would be per month and how much a license plates is going to cost me for a 99 Honda civic ex
