My sister just bought a Jeep. I am not going to tell you a price because I want to know what you guys think would be a fair price.

Year - 2001
Millage - 112,000
Engine - 8 Cylinder

What do you think would be a fair price to pay for this vehicle?

Sam, you do realize that there is a price on the car, right??? ;)

(I can't add to the price thing.. I'm not up on cars)

DUH!

The cake is a lie, and Companion Cube LIVES!

Try looking it up on Kelly Blue Book www.kbb.com

It depends on alot of things like location, trim, features, etc. That should give you a ball park estimate of what you should pay for a vehicle.

That is about what they paid for it.

Final price, after some dealing was $4500, Parents helped her (she is only 17). I don't know what deal she has worked out with them, but I think she has to pay $2000 of it , and they will get the rest minus the sale price of her current car which is a 1997 Dodge Intrepid.

I think she got off well, but I don't know if the price my parents wrote the check out for was worth it for the car.

Well, the price all depends if the Jeep works out for your sis. I'd pay that, but we have a '96 Jeep that has been good to us. They are usually good in the snow (if you need that) and are pretty comfy to ride in. At 17, I would think this would be the best! :banana:

I wouldn't consider a dime over 2k for a car with well over 110,000 miles on it but to each his/her own. I hope you had a mechanic do a inspection on everything before you sealed the deal.

I took a ride today after work in it, and I am impressed with it. It seems solid (well, surprisingly solid for the miles) and the engine sounded smooth, like you would expect a news car to sound like.

Interior is clean.

I think that they paid a good price for it. I wasn't sure with just the fact they gave me, but seeing it gave me a bit more confidence that they made a good choice.

Even if it recently had a new engine, transmission, rear end, and front suspension put in? You cant just use mileage to determine the value of a vehicle. You have to consider many other details.

How many miles do you drive a year? My 08 Titan has almost 30k miles on it already

My 2007 Cobalt has just under 9,000. I bought it new in July 2007

I have the same vehicle, except its gold instead of silver. I bought it in 2002, and its payed off. I am only keeping it because i dont want to deal with buying another car at the moment. However, if i could go back in time and get a different car i would. They are trouble, especially after 100k miles,-my humble opinion! Otherwise good luck to your sister, just make sure she is doing the required maintenance to keep it up.

My oldest car 99 Escort still only has 56,801 miles accounted for. It's been to the shop twice for brake work never had a problem, then again I don't drive the car like it's a cab.

my 91 Honda Civic has 147k miles on it. No turnover.........

my 96 Civic has 240,000 miles and its bluebook is well over $2,000. I wouldn't sell it for twice that since its been so reliable.
I think with any car you buy, its history, maintenance and condition trump mileage.
I research any model I buy just to make sure that it doesn't have a crappy resale and build issues. MSN autos has been my friend in the past with that with owner reviews and model details.
