I'd drive her out the door for 16K flat.

 

I don't think you'd get one with those miles etc for that money over here.

 

Nice but look at the carfax, 2nd owner "inconsistent mileage".

I've seen similar ones with even less miles sell for under 13K but this one looks OK. Those are very low res photos. Ask for a full set of originals.

Most are BLK/BLK or BLK/GRY so this is a refreshing change.

You can almost get an 05 in similar condition for this amount. Not easily but I think you can.

 

With that kind of advertised low mileage a clean under hood and carriage, etc. inspection should support its claim. Yea, maybe $15,500 should take her.

 

mine was $17k, had under 17000 miles...

 

I got my 05 with 60000 miles for the same price. So Staatsof your statement is true on getting an 05 in similar condition for the same amount. I did search for a while to find it and had to drive 8 hours one way to pick it up but definitly worth it if you can hold out and wait.

 

It all comes down to how bad you want it!

 

And which look you are into. 03-04 or 05 and on.

 

Hey an STR is an STR no better feeling then getting in and knowning the cure for no pulse is a pedal stomp away and the comfort of ultimate bang for the buck

 

x1 on that Mafioso. My 03 100k mile modded STR can still kick most new ***.

 

I took me three months to find my black and tan '06 STR. I had to fly to Texas to pick it up, but it was worth it. All the ones here were black w/black or silver w/black. I paid $24K last year an it only had 24,000 miles on it. I'd keep looking, you'll find a better deal.

 

Did you buy that 03 black one in lower NY state that belonged to an elderly gentleman?

 

That's the one. I bought it through another guy that he used as an intermediary. Very frustrating process, took me more than a month to buy the thing.

 

I was watching that one but it was the wrong color for me.
A lot of car for that price and it sounded like it was very clean too.

 

My 06 is also black and tan interior from Texas. Seems to be the most common color here. I think most people in Texas (me included) try to avoid black interiors due to heat in the cabin.

BTW I paid $23,500 for mine with 28000 on it two years ago.

 

I saw the listing about an hour after it began (eBay)...was hesitant to buy because the price was WAY lower than other comparable cars (must be something wrong with it?). In fact, I never did bid and was not the winner of the auction, which was over in less than 3 hours. I told the guy to reach out to me if the winner was somehow unable to pay, and that was what happened. The car exceeded all of my expectations, which were admittedly limited due to the low price.

 

I'm with ya on that. I'm in Mojave desert and a black interior is a huge no-no here. I bought my car in May of 2009 in Grand Prairie. Sounds like we both got good deals. All I've had to do so far is swap out an exhaust sensor, and that was easy.

 

Claimed low mileage on a seven year old car? Esp. with a clue like "inconsistent mileage"?
Needs a whole lot of checking. Now my car is four years old and had 120,000mile on it. Believable, I think, yes.
BTW., the villains are quite capable of retarding the mileage reading, despite the data store being in the speedo in some cases. If the car is worth it, the villains will find a way...
