Good deal?

I'm buying my first evo. Looking for input as to good deal or not! What do you all think...

06 MR SE silver, all options
6,500 miles
bone stock, never modded
original tires in good shape.
clear carfax
from dealer, but one owner.
$29,000

Thanks in advance. I don't trust my own judgment sometimes with a purchase like this!

What are your plans with the car j/w?
Try and work down the price as much as you can seems like a nice buy.

That seems to be a decent deal, but I am sure they come down on that a little more.

Negotiate. You can get a brand new X GSR for that price in this economic climate.

I understand you may not want an X, but still.

Talk them down to about 27,500 and your good

Other then that it's still a good deal when considering it's bone stock and such low miles.

Already talked them down from 33 for what it's worth. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this one.

What are my plans? I don't drive daily, my bike commute is the only exercise I get! But I live in Montana and make regular high speed bombing runs to Seattle and Denver for work/family. 700 miles one way, 5 mountain passes.
My mods will be narrow wheels and tires for snow duty. Clear bra, body armor, inegrated radar detector. Engine mods will be to increase the area under the torque curve. Anything to increase response at 5k' elevation. Thinking 02, exhaust, some intake. Wideband for lean cruising. Better stereo, and that should be about it.

of course talk them down, but if you feel like its a good deal go for it.
