Looks nice, but I'd be worried about that mileage. It's getting up there. A person should do between 12,000 & 15,000 miles/year, which it's pretty much on par with. I just wouldn't want a car w/that many miles myself. He's kind of on the high end of the price spectrum too; KBB says that car w/that many miles should be $18,250 in excellent condition. I would pay $15 for a carfax report for sure.

Its hard to tell from the small pictures, but it looks pretty clean. I'd do a carfax on it and make sure no wreaks. Its probably worth taking a closer look at and I could believe the stock clutch was replaced with another one since theres almost 80K on it. See if the price is negotiable at all too. Good luck.

looks decent. drive it to see how the tranny feels, the front brembos are peeling (common) but if see if there is anything they can do about it. yes the miles are a bit high but it is 5 years old. let us know how it works out!
