^^^ You got a steal on that! I paid 21500 for my VIII 2 years ago and it had 34k on it. The price is a little high. I'm figuring hes thinking that the mods add value and they dont. I'd pay about 23k. No more than 24k. Other than that the car looks good. Just check it over and make sure everythings good with it.

For 8 with close to 30k for 27k$ is a tad high I agree. I have 9 SE with 20k and kbb says the value is right around 28k-29k

Why wouldn't you consider this one? Sure looks like a better deal ...

that is a terrible price. Mods dont make the car worth more money, they make it worth less.

This has been modified and then set back to stock. Note the missing snorkel for the air intake box as well as the missing header heat shield.

Who knows what else has been done to it. This is why buying used is so tricky
