2001 coupe with 59k miles Manual
Clean looking record with lots of maintenance. I will be the 7th owner. Subframe done, rod bearings done etc
3 things that arent stock are suspension ( has original one), wheels and intake. Owner wants $30k for it. What are your thoughts? |

In 2016 for $28k, I bought a one owner 2005 IB ZCP manual with 52 K miles, super clean from San Diego totally stock with M-alcantara interior. My thoughts are wow these cars values have gone up a lot in just 5 short years.
That price sounds reasonable starting if it is super clean and maintained. If not $25k more reasonable. 7 owners is a bit much so check for a clean car fax and make sure it hasn't been driven in salty winter states and confirm clean undercarriage ie no rust underneath. PPI always a smart idea - leaky power steering and other small items can be present and cost you money and time to remedy. Post some pics too. Best of luck. |

BringaTrailer historical pricing is useful for tracking values. GL.

In today's market, it seems like a good deal.
I am looking at a clean 2005 6MT with 80k mileage single owner in the $35k range. You may be able to get a better deal if you keep hunting around, but there is always opportunity cost and my sense is even if you buying something "overvalued" by a few $, I think the intrinsic value will continue to appreciate for a well-maintained vehicle.

You left out two fairly important determining details, the color of both the interior and exterior. I can think of a couple combos where 30K is a steal and others where it may not be.
