*UPDATE* YACT: What is the general rule for pricing of used private party vehicles?

[weirdichi]

91 Integra Hatchback
130k miles
KBB Values:
RS-$2250
LS-$2505
GS-$2600
Location: Minnesota

I don't know what the trim is; all I know is that it's hatchback. But I was gonna go look at it tomorrow and I heard usually for a private party sale, you knock off $200-300? Of course I would have to adjust for condition (rust, especially in midwest here)and such. No pics. Any thoughts? Thank you.

UPDATE:
Got it for $2000. RS hatchback, hail damage on hood, rust on gas lid, front bumper is busted, 5-speed, car run excellent. I think I could've gone lower, but I thought the RS was 2500 KBB value. It's a nice car. I like.

On something like that, throw about 60-70% of asking price on the hood in cash (nice shiny $100 bills) and say take it or leave, its my offer.

If they dont take it, pick up your money and leave, there will be another deal.

Chances are you drive it home.

have a trusted mechanic take a look.

my brother has a 92 gsr, that's a nice car. if it's a GS or GSR, then you'll get a good deal.
