Car is for my friend and question is currently the dealer is offering 385 monthly with 988 down at 5.6 apr WAC...my friend has no credit but has 4,000 and has a steady job w no bills and brings home around 1500 every two weeks and has wrked at same job for two years.... How should we go about this??? He really wants this GT 08 and seams like a good price to me considering car was 38000 new and still only has 14000 miles on clock !!! Found on autotrader...

Appreciate your concern. Your friend is a grownup and pick his own car and ask his own questions.

Your not getting that Z for less than 22k, unless their desperate, especially in Miami. There will be someone from Dade County that will pay their asking price. My rational is based on big city economics. You would not get that 08 GT with 14,000 miles for 20k up here in Jersey or N Y either.

In miami the car is actually worth less considering our supply>demand

Also, many ebay auctions originate from south florida - further weakening
pricepoint for sale.

That's "big city economics" btw.

To me, that sounds like a fair price for to 08' GT. I really dont have to much advice for your friend, but put as much down as possible, and try to get financed through a credit union. They usually have cheaper rates anyways.

Yea that is the theory, but not reality. That will sale for 20k in a year with that mileage, but like I said that will be snagged for no less then 22k(not otd) in the near future. You keep on dreaming that a 08 GT will go for what you said, ha. Remember "big city economics" : ).
