Default Indy - hoping to join the club!

Hoping to finalize the transaction tomorrow. 2004 with 50K in awesome shape. Soft too looks new. After market exhaust. New tires at 35K. $18K at Honda dealer. Wondering thoughts on price. I have to get it mechanically checked out but have driven it twice and LOVE it. Any advice is appreciated.

All 10 VINs on the body panels? Good roof? Good Seats?

Photos? Link to their ad?

Top and seats are in awesome condition.

I did just look for all vin #'s and discovered none on front bumper. Closer inspection of paint shows a slight difference. Not horrible but slight. I had noticed the previous owner had installed different grills in the bumper. Maybe this was done when the new bumper went on. I'm going to get it up on a lift and checked out tomorrow before final decision. What are your thoughts on this? Should it devalue the car if we find no frame issues? Maybe they cracked the oem one and found it cheaper to replace than fix. No paint chips anywhere but bumper.

Car has solid records on fluid changes and maint from first owner up to 30K. 2nd owner didn't keep records.

Cones with roof boot cover as well as original car cover.

Thanks for for any thoughts.

Looks pretty damn good to me. My bumper has similar history and it doesn't bother me a bit. To me, it's just a bumper and shit happens. 18k looks pretty fair to me. It's what I a paid for my 03 9 months ago. Mine had a few less miles on it but probably a few more scuffs and chips. I'd keep it at the top of the list if I were you.
