you forgot "maybe"

Why are they selling it? OR is it from a dealer?

Sounds pretty fair to me.. as long as it has wing/sunroof.

I'd just make sure to get his service receipts... you know, make sure he changed the oil and stuff... Other than that, go for it!

Looks way high if it's a stripper (no wing, no sunroof). Strippers were going for just under $27K new in LA a few months ago. Check KBB.com and Edmunds.com for a private sale price, and have a mechanic or dealer check it out.

go to the dealer and check out a new one. It'll probably cost you $2K more and you won't have to worry about abuse and mileage. To me, I don't like the fact the badging and wing have been changed. Plus these clutches are notorius for burning out quickly. Gets my antenna up.... . Shop, do some homework. This is a specialty market and the seller won't get the same kind of bites if he was selling a Honda Accord.

Buy a new one if you can afford it. this doesn't look like a phenomenal deal... of course if he'll drop his price a couple of thousand, then it might be worth the risk..... imho.
