The price seem to be inline with the market and the car has very low miles for that year. Just make sure you check body and chassis for replacement parts or prior damage. GOOD LUCK!!

You should try to buy a Newer car with good miles like a MY06-07 with 18-20K miles for around the same price. A younger car is worth more money (on paper) than a car with less miles. Unless of course your preference is the other way around.
I agree completely.

Yep, Tom Truong was the owner. He was a stay at home dad after he stopped working here, so I don't doubt the car sat for days on end.

A Red 2005 All factory with stock front lip, side stakes and spoiler. Only has 27,900 miles, extremely clean, like new condition asking $17,900. I'm thinking it would be worth it if I could get him down to 17k. What do you think?

If it is what you want buy it @ asking price if you must, but of course try to get him down a little.
Some times the value of a car depends on what you plan on doing with it, if you plan on using it as a DD then you need to do the very best you can because it will not hold its value. on the other hand if it is going to be a garage queen and you plan on keeping it for a long time then you can go higher for a car you really want.

$20k for what is essentially a new car. It's a good deal, I'd pony up an extra $4-5k for 50-60k miles less wear and tear.
