Default looking a this 05

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp;?...leadExists=true.

This is the s2k I'm looking to buy. I was wondering what a reasonable price other than that already stated would be (15.9k). Also, 61k miles okay to go with? I know that Honda's are really reliable but I wanted to get some other opinions. Thanks.

I think it's a good deal. I'd go with it.

Thanks for the feedback. Still looking for more. Also, I don't plan on putting a Turbo or Supercharger in it. maybe some new air intake and exhaust.

I'd make them drop the price just because of that shift knob! Other than that, it looks good from the pictures, but only a drive will really tell you if it's good.
A smart thing to do is take some time and read through some of the FAQs on here. This car has a tendency to make some strange noises that can concern the uninformed (i.e. 1-2 grind, gear engagement clunk, cdv). They can also point you in the right direction as far as looking for common weak points in the car. Just make sure you check out those tires before getting on the throttle. Even though it's a more "stable" AP2, bad rear tires can leave you pointing in the wrong direction pretty quickly depending on your driving experience.

Good find though, berlina's are beautiful!

It's actually a fairly good price. Most 05s are around 17k-18k, but are lower mileage. I'd say that the price reflects the higher mileage of that car well. But mileage isn't something I'd really worry about, it's more about how it was driven during those miles.
