2004 Evo 8 $26,999 good deal?

Hi, I'm in the market for a used Evo 8 and have found what I think to be a great deal. Its a Black 2004 with Sound / Sun / Leather package and has 2,700 miles on it. Dealership is asking me 26,999 and will not go any lower. Do I have a leg to bargain with here or should I take my good price and run with it?

Thanks

What would be considered a good deal? Basically I'm not financing the car and just paying for it on the spot. All the help greatly appreciated

the EVO was built to take a beating. just check the brakes, clutch, and tires and be happy you're getting it for under invoice. OR what you could do is get a low miled one for right around invoice give or take your negotiating skills. the choice is yours.

what he said ^^ why would someone trade in an evo after only 2700 miles... Used evo's I always say use caution when buying.

BTW make sure its still under dealer warrentee just in case something goes out like the first week or two. and hopefully they will at least honor it that long.

I would buy that in a second. That car has to be worth 32-34 new so it is a deal and a half.

Been checking on the same car new. Lowest I have found is 30K so 1K under invoice. So it depends on how much you think those almost 3K miles take off it.
