do your best! it can be very tempting !

 

Welcome.

Check out the link in my signature.

 

That is very useful to have, as well as the maintenance schedule, thank you!

 

 

Check the car for matching numbers. There are VIN stickers on all the body panels which will match if all panels are original.

Woodbridge is in a state I imagine. Pricing on these cars will vary by geographic location. Cars in the Northeast and Great Lakes region are likely to have not been driven all year and you may find low mileage cars here. My new-to-me this summer '06 has less than 40K miles (and matching numbers). If you find a high mileage car in these regions check it ruthlessly for road salt damage!

Performance "summer" tires work poorly below 50°F and are dangerous below freezing. Mine is staying in the garage this winter!

I wanted an '06 or later for stability/traction control, etc. Price here in Ohio varies about $1000 per 1000 10,000 miles or model year.

...typo? lol

 

Thanks, I missed a zero. Should be 10,000 miles.

In my search earlier this summer I found asking prices like this in Ohio:

2006 with 40K miles: $22K
2006 with 50K miles: $21K
2006 with 70K miles: $20K
2006 with 70K miles: $19K
2006 with 80K miles: $18K
etc

2005 models started $1K lower
2004 models started another $1K lower.

As with anything condition is paramount.

I'm probably going to keep this in mind as a reference. I'm not all to concerned with Traction Control on the 06+ models, however I do prefer to have an AP2 over the AP1 as it's still going to be a daily.

The S2ks around my area are pretty high mileage - at least 80% of them are - so I don't have the luxury of anything near under 50k in my price range. I'm probably going to be looking for a car under 70k and thoroughly check the car in person. I just hope I get lucky and nothing gets brushed under the rug on purchase...
