help buying tc

[jessipak]

Hello,

in the process of trying to buy a tc.. and i have no idea what i'm doing! just wondering if this is a good deal.. ?

$12,500 for 2005 MT black tC. Has 32,000 miles, so I guess 4,000 miles left of warranty.

It is from a private party, and he is not willing to go any lower than $12,500. It has a sound system and short shifter.

Good deal or keep looking?

Here are pictures:

I'd really appreciate any advice or suggestions you had. It's a big investment! And also, I was planning to have it checked out at a toyota dealership or greg's japanese auto? Any comments about which is better? Thanks so much guys!

Sounds good... I'd get it. That's about average price.

I bought my 06 flint mica m/t with 18500 miles for 15k (from carmax, so no haggling unfortunately).

If you want it, go for it.

I'd say go for it. Seems fair.
I can't really say cause i have on 08 got it for 20k

go for it! 32K in a few years is below the average 12-15K per year so it shouldnt be beaten up too bad. good deal IMO
