Yea but X's are all over the place finding a IX is much more difficult.

I would consider buying it depending on condition and the price. 100k miles on a 2010 means be a lot of highway miles to reach that which is a good thing. I would not pay over $20k and factor in the cost of clutch replacement if it has not been replaced already. Really I would be willing to pay what a 2008 evo x with +80k miles would go for which is around $18-20k.

Too much at $22k I bought my 2012 SSS with 45k for $23k. I had to look for a while to find but it was well worth it.

UPdate: Spoke to dealer and maximum price they lowered to was 19.9k. Despite the price decrease I still think mileage is too high. I'm going to look at some other lower mileage ones.

The 29k miles one has a major accident report on carfax, yet the dealer lists as clean carfax. The nerve of those guys. After this I keep leaning more and more to a newer one.

Okay guys so test drove car:

Good:

Bone stock,not even springs or exhaust.
Engine sounds good
clutch good

Bad:
Heavy rock chips damage and scratches
Heavy curb rash on two wheels
driver side seat fade
Transmission feels limp when shifting, not as strong/crisp

Found some 2015's but the seats...

THE SEATS ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

If I were you i would just go with the 2015. Seats can be replaced. Look at it this way, you have no worries of it ever being abused or having any issues because you'll be the first owner, you can get the color you want and the options you want. I've had a terrible experience with buying my X used and regret it. I wish I could go back in time and just have waited to buy it new. That's just my opinion though

Great choice. Not saying there aren't great owners out there but after reading things like "this clutch sucks, it's burned up after 1500 miles and I've only launched it 3-27 times," it makes you wonder what you're really getting when you buy used.
