My dad drives a raelly crappy car from the late 80s and I’m trying to convince him to get a new one. He doesn’t wanna spend any money, so I figure that gives me a budget of <5000, and he/I want it to be a manual. I found this Saab 9-5 linear for 00…it has 100k miles. How reliable are these cars? Are they expensive to repair? Is this a good deal?

I kinda want my dad to drive a semi-luxurious car because he’s getting old and I think all old people deserve to ride in nice cars…

One more thing: the car is described as being a 5spd manual, but under details it says "Auto Transmission w/Manual Override"…what is that?

Alright, well I’m looking at this 2001 Pontiac Firebird. It looks pretty sweet, ram air hood and some kind of (custom?) front bumper, and I’d really like to buy it. However, it’s priced WAY too high, and has nothing much special that makes it different from other v6 Firebirds besides the bumper. It has 93,000 miles, 5 previous owners and has been in a fender bender. It’s priced at about ,000. I’ve seen a Firebird with 2/3 the miles, no accidents and 2 owners (but without the neat front bumper or hood) priced at 00. Also a white convertible with 2/3 the miles for k. Also the k car is manual and the 7.9 and 9 are autos. On the k, one of the lights on the front doesn’t work, but that’s probably easily and cheaply fixable. The NADA price for the Firebird clean retail is 00.

So pretty much what I’m asking, is do car dealers intentionally price cars way too high? And is there any way to talk him down 00-00 on the car? There’s no way that thing is worth ,000…

I’m looking at two vehicles. Would like some opinions on which one I should buy.

2000 Ford Mustang

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp?paId=326704010&aff=kbbfeed

2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=p&car_id=269839895&dealer_id=64697615&car_year=2000&rdm=1256276445787&lastStartYear=1981&model=TIBURO&num_records=25&systime=&make3=MIT&make2=FORD&highlightFirstMakeModel=&start_year=1996&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&engine=&certified=&body_code=0&fuel=&awsp=false&search_type=used&distance=75&marketZipError=false&model3=ECLIP&model2=MUST&search_lang=en&showZipError=y&make=HYUND&keywords_display=&color=&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&min_price=1000&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&seller_type=b&max_mileage=&style_flag=1&sort_type=priceDESC&address=70737&advanced=&end_year=2010&doors=&transmission=&max_price=7000&cardist=55&standard=false

Info on the Eclipse not stated on site: Timing belt has been changed. There is a dent in the front from running into a hitch (just body damage, nothing big) and a cracked dashboard (I will get a dash cover).

Just want to know which one you think would be the best choice. I’m going to look at both vehicles tomorrow. Anything in particular I should know about these model cars? Anything I should look for to see potential problems?

Thank You!
