Default 2004 S2K for $25,000 Good Deal?

To all:

I am about to replace my 2005 that I totaled about 3 weeks ago with a 2004 that is the same color etc. with 4875mi on it for $25,000 + TTL. My car had 4500mi on it. I am buying it from Maplewood Audi in MN. I am planning to pick it up this Friday.

Does this sound like a fair deal?

Any opinions?

Thanks, Brian

That's what I paid for mine 3 weeks ago w/ 7330 miles (04 Silverstone).

The car was super-clean (pretty much a new car). Blue book was $25,600. Had all service records, oem parts, window stickers, original owner etc.

If it had a scratch, ding, dent, missing service records, missing items, ANYTHING wrong with it, I wouldn't have paid $25k for it. But if it is like a new car, I don't think it's a bad deal.

That's what I paid in the spring of '02 for my '00 with 4802 miles. I've never looked back.

You may be able to get them to come off that price a little but if the car is cherry that's not a bad deal.

Good luck.

If you can get them to knock off a few hundred bucks, that would be gravy. But otherwise that's a fair deal to me

Sounds 'ok.'

I paid $24.5K for my 04 with ~5K miles and all the body trimmings (lip, trunk lid, strakes).

You can probably do a bit better if its not optioned well, but if its a cherry car... pay for it.

Sounds pretty good to me. I bought an '04 in June for $22,000 with 20,600 miles, mint condition, but from an individual seller. At the time Edmunds.com was showing about $25,000 for the same car from a dealer.
