Default Hi all from Los Angeles!!! Thinking about buying used? But...?

First off, the guy change the price from $7700 to $7995 and will probable sell at $7700. The second thing is it was listed as 2004, I looked up the VIN and paid for a few reports, it's a 2003, but clean, clean, clean and then some.

Beautiful Car.

It does have a salvage title due to THEFT, it was missing month, they paid out and now it has that title. It has 85K and have seen Jags at 140-163K miles.

He said for 3 months he would fix anything that goes wrong for free.
For the other 9, he will supply the parts for free and charge minimal labor (cost), he said for 2003, what ever engine problem it had (some air flow problem, less than $70 in parts, he would put in writing he would fix for 3 years, I just want something reliable, that gets decent MPG (we get 13 now on our Jeep Grand Cherokee), nightmare, so it has to be better than that, but it requires (JAGUAR), premium gas.

Wondering what you would do.He has a lot of Jag's so imagine that's why he has no problem with parts. He said mechanically, it's cheap to fix (FORD), but its the BODY PARTS THAT ARE SO EXPENSIVE.

So, what would you do???

Really looks nice.

Hi Composer and welcome to the site.
My first reaction to hearing it was a theft recovery is "ACK!" But, if it was only missing that short time and there is no visible damage, the offer he is giving is worth it in my opinion, just make sure it's in writing!
The price seems a tad high to me for an 8 year old car, however that depends on your location and the condition of the car. I suspect prices are higher in your area than mine.
Good luck with your decision!
