Hey guys - I know it’s probably been asked a million times but looking for any guidance on this FTR I’m considering:

I drove it today, basically looks and feels brand new. I do like the idea of a bit more warranty from the whole “certified” thing, but I realize you pay for that too. Question would be how much room a dealer like this might have. At 69.9, I’m thinking of offering 65k, which would seem like a good price for this rig. Love to hear any thoughts or advice.

 

65k doesn't seem terrible with so few miles, but I just looked at CarGurus. There are lots for sale nationally with under 25k miles for under 65k, including many under 60k. If you're in Seattle, this one is in Portland advertised at 59k;

You can find 2018's for 65k, if you're willing to travel and get one in white.

 

It's definitely on the higher end of the spectrum in terms of cost. but its also a highly and nicely spec'd car in a fairly rare color so if its exactly what your looking for in terms of color and options. Make them throw in that 7th year of warranty as well.

 

Thanks guys. Yeah to be honest this car wasn't even on the front burner but it got immediate spousal support, and the BRG color is sweet. Hadn't thought about using additional warranty for negotiation purposes - good call.

 

Also, don't limit your search to local only. While it's great to be able to see in person and drive the car you are looking to buy, many dealers these day will arrange shipping and do a 14-30 day 'no questions asked' return when purchasing remote.

 

I'd buy it. Looks loaded up with all the toys and in a great color/spec. $65K isn't bad, it's basically a new car.

 

Nice looking car, can't comment on values as I am in UK.

Doesn't look like 17 model year to me, if that matters, I thought MY17 had different front styling.

 

I believe models designated MY17 in the US would be designated as 2016 cars in the UK.

 

there is no difference in the exterior design between a 2016 or a 2017 MY. From the 2018 MY the new LED lights came and front bumper etc.

 

Trigger pulled. I wasn’t able to get down to the 65k I was aiming for but I did get them down a bit and also negotiated an Xpel paint protection package in the mix. My Audi A7 just turned over 100k miles and I always regretted not getting that film on the hood to minimize rock chips.

I did a national search and in the end, there really weren’t many options if I wanted the British racing green ( I did) with low miles. So now she's in the garage and I’m looking forward to getting out for a nice drive. Thanks to all for the replies.
