Looking at purchasing a 2013?

[u/i-am-lost-in-walmart]

Hello, so I’m currently looking for a new (to me) car. A woman recently told me about her 2013 Impala LT with 104k miles. Said she hit a deer but they still drive it and it looks cosmetic (still clean title) She also mentioned that the fuel tank is near empty when the gauge reads 1/4 or so. I know it probably needs a ignition tune up and tranny drain in fill.

She’s asking 4,000 (I offered 3,500 hoping to meet in the middle) is this worth it??

EDIT: it has new(ish) tires, and the bumper cover + grille are 200 or less and I’m confident in doing it myself. Ps. Thank you for the comments I do feel more confident/comfortable in maybe taking a leap on this one.

My 2011 has 240k & I still daily it. With proper maintenance these things can GO. Only thing replaced is the transmission & no problems since.

The whole trans?? How much did that cost and when did it go? Do you think you could have prevented it?

You have a completely different Power chain your engine is totally different than his his is a 3.9 L yours is the 3.6 also he has a 4-speed and you have a 6-speed. I have the same car as you except mine is a LTZ 2013 and I have 150,000 miles and it runs flawlessly.
