Anyhoo, feedback mucho appreciado! fing02.gif

 

11k is bit much for 03 GK. I would say 9ish. but then agin its still not a RD

 

hence the asterisk at what i said was the *listed* price. i havent talked to em yet, just found the car today, and i could probably talk them down a bit. hell, last time i went car shopping i got one guy to take 5k off the price. (i dont expect that much to be taken off) and i didnt buy the car, but i can be pretty damn convincing if i want something. lol. *chuckles*

 

Personally id keep looking for an RD2, i have a gk and rd2 and i still love the rd2 much more.

 

RD2 FTW!

but that one doesnt look bad, not a fan of that bumper at all.

 

if you want a gk that bad there was a guy on nt.com that was selling a 03 with only 12k on the speedo for 12 g's. to me that is alot better of a offer than what you are looking at. there was a crazy orange one on ebay last week, don't know what they wanted for it.

 

well if you like overweight under powered cars sure.... but..... find an rd2 and it is sex.... lol seriously its up to you.. rd2 rd2 rd2 rd2 rd2..............

 

Ever notice that GK and GAY rhyme?

Girl, look a bit WIDER than SC, the east coast is so compact you could go to any of these places and pick up a car.

Red RD2 in PA, a decent amount of modification already, 69K miles, around 5K dollars.

Silver RD2 in NJ, nice rims, some other modifications too. 60K miles on it, currently at 3K with 3 days left.

Mostly stock Silver RD2 in Long Island. 100K miles, but it's selling for $3295 BUY IT NOW. You could fly up, get that sucker, bring it back, and it would still be way less than $5K.

Or you could check this link...

That one has a TON of RD2's, all within 500 miles of you, in varying conditions of modification or stock, milage, and decent prices.

 

if i could get some good $$$ for my car, i would upgrade to a 2005-2007 GK.

12k is too much.. i would say its worth more around 10.5 to 11k. miles aren't bad for an 03 either.. i would probably rather spend a couple extra G's and get an 05 or 06.

 

heh. thanks peeps. here are a couple things to consider.

#1

yep, id DEF. rather have an rd2 preferably.
cant find any round here. im not sticking to columbia, but i cant be going outside 250 miles unless im on leave, because my nco refuses to give me a pass.(can you say "AWOL"?) As much as i get called in and as much as i work, i simply dont have time to go out and about that much to look without knowing for sure im coming home with something.

#2. UrS0NvS:

Its not that i want a gk, reread the top, im just not having helluva much luck with finding nice rd2's within my constraints.

#3. demon_fox:

chill man. heh. i didnt say i was getting the damned thing, i said i dont speak mechanic as of yet and needed some opinions.

#4. REDZMAN:

LOL! i did in fact notice. im just pertubed, starting to get frustrated with a number of things. That being that i NEVER have enough time to do anything. Also a couple of other things too. One being i need something lower-ish mileage that i know is certified and is guna last at least a couple years. I have an appt at Ft Gordon, GA on the 4th (yes the same day i fly out), with the neurosurgeon. He basically gets to decide my fate in the army or not. (2 herniated disks, "paresthias in global R leg, among other *unpleasant* side effects of posterior/lateral herniation encroaching on R S1 nerve route"...yea...thanks army, tongue.gif, what your saying is by the time im 50 ill feel about 80)

I have to be able to make payments on the car, because i need to start saving up a helluva lot more due to not knowing whats guna happen on the 4th. If he decides to cut on me, its very highly likely ill be medboarded and i need to have enough money to find a place, yada yada. you get the idea. Lol. Also, i dont plan on going above 70-80k miles on it as is. Theres 2 or 3 of those cars you listed though that im looking at right now and a site or 2 too.... fing02.gif

#5. Socks:

Heh. Yea, Im not paying 12k for it. i havent even talked to the guy, let alone made and offer IF they even still have the car. After i talk to him, IF i talk to him, he'll have to come down to a max of 11, preferably 10 or so.

All being said, i feel pretty stupid but i was looking for help with this stuff. Yup. <--- is definately a noob. laugh.gif hah. anyhow, thanks much for the help so far, and even more ideas would be appreciated! fing02.gif
