Hey Guys,
My girlfriend is looking at used cars, and we are going to check out a 2003 M3 Convertible this weekend. The car is pretty much loaded with a manual transmission. It has 25k miles on it, and the dealer is asking for $26k. What price should we start our negotiations at?

KBB.com has the following values. I assume this car is not in "Excellent" condition though, since it's a 2003:

Suggested Retail Price (only shows excellent):
Excellent: $27,725

Private Party:
Excellent: $24,425
Good: $23,175

Trade In:
Excellent: $21,450
Good (probably what the dealer paid): $20,400

Thanks

BTW, I know this is the "New" M3 purchasing forum, but I have no idea where the Used forum is
