Default Take or pass on an 01 6-speed....

My friend put a hold on the following car and wants me to drive it tomorrow to see how it feels. As he always loved my car, he is getting just about the exact same thing... hmm.. could not even find a different color than me!

2001 2.7T
6-speed (nice difference from mine)
68K
Sport w/17's, Premium, Cold, Luxury, Bose (at least he doesn't have the sunshades)
Silver
Audi Certified
Clean inside and out, Carfax says 1 owner but also it was in a body shop in 03 (nothing severe as reported, but I know not to go by what they say).
New brakes front and back, 60K service performed, tires OK.
$17,500

Would you take it or pass? Sounds pretty good to me.

A bit expensive. I paid $17.5k for mine (almost exact same car) w/55k miles in 12/04.

Default I sold mine for about that much 4 months ago with that mileage...

I think a tad bit too high, maybe try to get it down to the mid 16s.

This one is certified though...with the full warranty. Does the 6-speed help on price as it is rare

Mine was CPO as well. 6-speed is more "rare" but not necessarily bumps price that much
