Ok, checked one out yesterday, but ended up passing on it. 2007 R/T with 86,000 on the clock, $10,991. Clean for the most part, but there were some issues: 2 hits in the front end, one repair obvious, the other I couldn't tell visually, even after finding out from the carfax; Carfax also revealed the car was repossessed once; drivers door clicked loudly on opening and closing; front-end made a clunking noise each time I tapped the brakes; steering "buzzed" when I turned the wheel (not your typical "belt" noise); rear bumper cover was loose; one tail light was filled with condensation; rear tires had seen more than their share of smoky burnouts; and the leather drivers seat was in bad shape. Some are minor, cosmetic, typical of a used car, but with two hits and the repro report made me think twice. That, and the dealer price was non-negotiable. With a dozen R/T's to choose from in my area ranging from $7k to 13K, I thought this one was priced high, so I offered $8500 and then was shown the door, no counter offer. My offer shaved only 23%, usually my first hit on anything is a solid 25%. I fully expected a counter offer of $9800 which would have at least paid the taxes and tags. What do you think, was I out of line? What's with dealers that don't haggle price?
