Ever heard of Budget Rental Cars? Well they have a location here in Panama City where they sell their rental cars. The accord that is in question is a trade in from yesterday. Here's the information on it:
1996 Honda Accord EX
90,000 miles
5speed
Black
Now, earlier today I looked at it in the rain - it looked really nice. So I went inside of their offices, and asked how much they would be willing to offer me - they said $8,987 (NADA estimate), and they'll give my $1,500 for my trade in (1989 Nissan Maxima). I told them that I'll think about it, and as I was leaving, it stopped raining. So I asked if I can have a closer look at the exterior and inside. The first thing I noticed is that the exterior has scratches all over it - not deep, but noticable. Then I saw two areas where the front and back bumper at rubbed up against something solid (not affecting the body, just scraping the paint away). When I opened the door, I could smell a strong smoke smell, but the interior looked good. How much should I ask them to take off the price (considering that a new paint job will probably need to be done for it to look prestine, and something will have to be done about the smoke smell)? I was thinking about offering them somewhere between 7k - 7.5k (covering the cost of a paint job). What do you think?
