Need advice ASAP: Is this a fair price for a stock IX MR SE with 2,400 miles on it?

I think I would be kicking myself honestly. I don't need that new of an MR. I can get one with slightly more mileage for $4k-5k less. That would be worth it to me.

I just wish the one from WA was still available!

If you plan to keep it a museum piece - then maybe.

No. I want to drive it. I offered him KBB and he said no. Oh well.

Whoops, I didn't realize you were interested in the one in WA. I thought you wanted to use that as a bargaining piece for the one closer to you. Someone in the area is the one that put the deposit down on the car. Sorry about that.

Hah no problem. I will email him the link though to see if it helps. Do you know if he/she is buying it for sure? I am supposed to call him tomorrow to see if it is finalized.

Basically if things check out he has committed (in the forums, mind you) to be picking it up. He sounds serious, though.

Best of luck!

I have seen that car listed a few times. 2400 is nice, but I would have a problem paying for it. Hell if I were gonna pay damn near 30k for that I think I would buy the original Evo VII from The Fast and Furious and paint the thing. It has 500 miles on it, its a VII, but its 42.5k. Still, unlikely to find a more pristine VII (other than the hideous paint) here in the states, ever.

It was something like that, though I don't know how many folks paid that much. You seem to be trying to rationalize the purchase, yet you're not accounting for the major variable - what is it worth to you? No one here shares an identical set of wants/desires/values with you, so you have to decide whether the price is fair.

This is very true. It's because I am in limbo. I bought my IX RS BRAND NEW OTD for $29k. I am looking at it as basically a brand new MR SE (that I couldnt afford at the time) for about the same price now.

If I listened to the general forum population, my car would run like crap, handle like a tractor, and look like a spaceship. I'm not sure whether my opinion can be considered unbiased, probably not, but I told you what I thought in the beginning on this thread. I'm 46 years old and I bought my Evo to keep. Clearly, my perspective isn't the same as a 19 year old kid who just purchased a 100K, 7 tear old chopped-up Evo, working 60 hours a week just to cover the insurance. You need to decide what's right for you. Is the number of low-mileage IXs increasing? No? How much is that worth to you? How much will that be worth to you in 5 years, as you plan to keep the car? How about in 10 years? 20 years? Only you can answer these questions.
