Opinion on AE
Just thought I'd check around for a few opinions from the 5th genners. My cousin is working with a dealership where they have an AE in Black/ light gray leather, 5 spd, 53K, car is in real good shape accept for the gas tank door is warped and the bottom hinge is unwelded, and the front bumper looks as it if it were oversprayed due to some blk paint on the headlight and grille, but the carfax shows the vehicle was never in any accident. The first asking price was $14.9k, but they advertised it on a local sales paper for $12.6k. So that price got his attention and we thought we would go in and try and beat them up on the price a little bit. The dealer said he would work with us, so he asks us to make an offer so he can present it to his manager. My cousin offers $10 grand out the door (tax, title, lic included). The manager counter offers with $12k does not include tax title license. So we chit chat and talk it over and then talk to the dealer again. He really likes the AE, as I have one is maj blue but auto. Well we try to push $10k or even $10.5k for the price of the vehicle and add on tax title lic of course. No deal, but as we are leaving the dealer runs back out and now they are willing to sell the car $11.5k. The car is at a chevy dealer and has only been on the lot for 4 days, but we are the only ones that came it to check it out! My cousin told the dealer he would think about that price and possibly get back to him on Monday. I know this is a damn good price for an AE with 53K, was just wondering what are some of your opinions? Thanks!

Do you mean SE?
That is a good price. I paid allot more for mine.
Do a CarFax and have it checked out real good. There are "flood" cars on the market as well as "rebuilds", and you do not want either.

I'm not too sure if that's a really GOOD price, but i would think it would be average for that car...i was looking at an AE before i got my car a year and a half ago and i almost bought a maj. blue one with 63k miles (5-speed) and it was 10.9k....and that was a year and a half ago...now i thought THAT was a good deal....let's just say that at least you aren't getting raped here...

Yup, that's exactly whats gonna happen, my cousin is going back to the dealer on Monday to purchase the vehicle. $11.5k is the price it looks like he will get it at. I was actually just searching vehix, automart, autotrader, etc to see what other dealers were asking for an AE and most of them were $14.9 or higher! Thanks again guys for the opinions! much appreciated!
