Question:
Someone is willing to sell me a 1996 Chevy Cavelier with 150K for $2000. Kelley Blue Book says in excellent condition it is only worth up to $1605. But the guy says he has put $1800 in the car since he bought the vehicle from his son. He says he's repaired the struts and alternator and so on. Should I consider how much he has put into the car instead of what Kelley blue book says?

It's hard to say without seeing the car. It doesn't sound like a TERRIBLE price but it seems a bit steep. First I would take it and have it checked out by a trusted mechanic.Which car do you think is better for a girl?
The Blue Book will have taken into account that such repairs had been needed. If I were you I wouldn't pay a cent more than the Blue Book specifies.How much should I spend on a new or used car?
No, you shouldn't. No, you should not EVER consider what someone has put into the car. Repairs are a cost of running the car; beyond making everything work/look right, they do not add any value to the car.Is $15,000 USD for a 1995 Ford Taurus a good deal?
If anything, I'd say the blue book on that car is too high. (Notice how car ads almost always say "BELOW BLUE BOOK!" Blue book is usually WRONG.)

So:
NO, you should not consider how much he's put into the car. It's the cost of owning a car.

Offer no more than $1500 and walk away if he refuses. Better off buying an Acura or Honda.
HELP...Planning to move to Fort Lauderdale, FL. Info what place evade renting?
How much you put in has NOTHING to do with how much you can sell it. unless if its a Toyota or Honda, else wise would be a bad buy. For a 11 yrs old GM? it doesnt matter what did he jsut fixed, problems gonna come back and haunt you. Not worth it. Besides, with 2k, you find something like a Civic or Corolla, even Camry or Accord if you really trying to look, thats around 100K odometer.Gm's used 11 yrs old car hardly worth more than one thousand... honestly.
I would probably not consider this car because if he put 1800 dollars into it then it probably has problems, and we have owned a 1996 Chevy and it had many problems.
Can a deal be reversed on a newly purchased vehicle?
No! He could sink $4000 into that car and it still wouldn't be worth $2000. It would still be an eleven year old car with 150K miles on it. He got it from his son? Young men are typically rough on cars so I don't see it measuring up to the Blue Book's excellent condition (of course I'm being presumptuous here). I wouldn't buy it for many reasons. He dosen't sound like a reasonable person to deal with, mid-1990's chevys aren't that dependable, it was owned by a younger man, he's asking way too much as a starting point.. Just my opinion.Good luck!

No.. $1605 is the correct price. When they say "excellent" condition, that means it's including the things that this owner has done to it.. as in keeping it running and repairing everything that needs to be done. If he has spent more money on repairs than on the car itself, then maybe this should be a sign that its not the best car to buy.. just a thoughtEx owes me $158.73, so I stole her car door.?
Repairs are a part of owning a car, just like maintenance. The fact that he has done these repairs simply means that the vehicle has been brought up to KBB's specifications. I would not pay a penny more than book value. Actually, I would likely not buy a Cavalier with 150K in the first place. It is very near the end of it's life.How much money do i need to buy a new car with horse power?
