Maybe the whole tailpipe came off... disturbing implications...

My interest in the car would be around $32-35k, not $42k. $42k with 46k miles should be a very good condition car with no moderate to major damage. This car at that price isn't worth the trip IMO.

Thanks dudes - your feedback is much appreciated.

Just found an immaculate Sprint blue with silver interior and aluminum trim with only 18,000 miles going for $55,000. No accidents, the shocks are OEM DRC with a recall upgrade, and has a CPO warranty until Jan 2013. A little above my budget... but is that a good price?

Love the color but the price seems really high! Is it a 2008 with Ti package? Still seems to high even for that setup.....should be in the mid to low 40's still

Sorry, forgot to mention it's a 2007 non Ti. I think I'll offer him 45,000 flat out and see what he says.
Thanks again.

With 18k miles that's easily a 48-50k car based on the others I've seen. They'll laugh you out the dealership at 45k.lol

You were right - not interested. However, I've found another one, with very similar features (an 07 with 36,000 miles) going for $44,000... except it's not Sprint blue. The CPO warranty is good until Aug 2013 so this looks interesting.

Best deal you've mentioned so far. Go check it out! Very fair deal. If you get a cc thrown in you are ahead of the game.
