Default '05 w/4k miles

Unbelievable - Lease trade in and I have a chance to buy it before it goes to auction. The car is in perfect 10/10 shape. Female real estate agent had it previously as well as other vehicles. Obviously not driven much. Anything worth noting about '05's to stay away from? What's it worth? Thanks

Wow that's awesome I was lucky to find my S with 17K and it's a 04 lol nice deal go for it expect to pay 19-22ish if you know how to deal. At an auction tho they might jack the price up try to buy it private party if possible.

The only bad thing to about buying the car is any relationships you have with the opposite sex and or work ethic you have will decline substantially because you will either be driving the car or thinking about driving the car.

Other than that buy it and wow I thought my 05 with 5K miles was a once in a lifetime deal.

The 05 is a good car. I like the rims on mine compared to later versions. It is probably worth the retail blue book value, as that is probably what it will be worth when you own it.

Look at it this way - you are basically getting a brand new car for much less tha new cost. With 4k mi it's literally barely broken in, and still probably virtually as new in most respects.

CarMax in Louisville has a yellow 2005 with 6k for $22.5k, and a red 2005 in Indianapolis with 2k for $23.5k (CarMax pitches fixed and non-negotiable prices). Compared with the appx. $30k it would probably cost to buy a new one in most parts of the country, getting a still essentially new car for $6-$8k discount seems like a good deal.

Go for it, and enjoy!

LOL. On the contrary, I find that MORE women and friends talk to me now that I have a convertible. :-D

I just grabbed a 2005 with 28k miles (Honda Certified) for $20995, KBB is about $24500. What are they asking for it?
