02 Suzuka Blue with just under 65k miles. Looks to be nearly or completely stock and no immediate issues from pictures. Haven't checked out the car yet, but am going today. https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/4495250114.html
How does $14k sound?

I'm looking at a 2006 in Laguna Blue Pearl with 25,143 miles, 2 owners with clean carfax and an OEM hardtop. It looks to be in good condition but I haven't seen it in person yet because it's out of state. They're asking $23,800 for it which seems like a really good deal considering the low mileage and hardtop. I'd have to pay the taxes, tag and title in my home state so the out the door price at the dealer is just $23,800.
How much does the OEM hardtop cost new?
Thoughts on this "deal"?

2007 GPW with red/blk interior
-19,632 miles
-2 owners (clean title) 61 yr old currently owned
-new rear tires and car just detailed
-minor scratch on under front bumper (parking bump)
- said Soft top completely replaced in 2010 under warranty due to pinhole on fabric that bothered him.
I drove it yesterday and seemed fine. Popped vtec in 1-3 gears. Cruise Control worked fine and brakes felt ok. Could use an alignment but overall engine sounded tight. Only issue with car that i found was windshield sprayers didnt work, but wipers were fine. (minor fix). And since he doesnt have an OEM cover, the antenna is bent somewhat.
we agreed on $26k, but i was curious if this is too high. I really want the car, but looking for some input. My search has been quite a PITA.

Good thing I've already secured the car today. I financed a part of it through State Farm and had my agent forward my info to the dealer so all I have to do is inspect and test drive the car and then pay them.
They're a luxury/ exotic used car dealer and they got the S in a trade in. That might have something to do with the low price.
The only thing I'm not fond of is it has the XM radio antenna/ box thing on the trunk. Are those easy to remove without damaging the paint?

Otherwise $14k sounds like a good price for the car.
