Go for the Granada Hills one or the Encinitas one.
How much do you think they're worth??

The Encinitas guy told me he could do $17.5. Which sounds a bit high for 75k miles with the usual dings and scratches.

And the black Grenada Hills said they got that price recommended to them by a Honda dealership and they seem strong on that price and believe it's really worth that much. Seems a bit high for being a really old MY and also ugly wheels and painted calipers. $19.5k sounds more like an 07 or 08 if I'm not mistaken. I saw a 70k and 60k Ap1, both stock, oem and mint adult owned, not too long ago for $13k.

That other white one seems a bit high too for 73k miles. I see he's a member here and has an ad on the for sale forums. Looks like a good car..but high price. He emailed me back and said even $16k is much lower than what he'd take.
KBB value on the encinitas one is about 16k. Now, remember, this is a white one with tan interior. That's kind of a unicorn. It's sought after. So he can get more for it. I would go look at it and if it's nice, have it inspected. If the inspection comes up clean, I would probably offer KBB commensurate with condition and then be willing to come up a little. Not to 17.5, but maybe 16.5 or possibly 17 if the condition warrants it... matching vins and whatnot.

That's just me. Others might think I'm crazy. But in CA with a white on beige, yeah, the seller can ask top dollar.

Is this one priced high or low?

Judging from the recent posts on this thread and if I'm not mistaken, this seems like a pretty good price for super low 25k mile MY05

What has your research on this car so far turned up? Did you contact for more pics? Do you have a carfax and/or autocheck on it yet? There's insufficient info provided here to make any kind of determination.

No reply..yet.

I bet the seller wouldn't drop the price down significantly by a couple grand, from the asking price, so it's out of my budget anyway. I was just curious since it's a very low mileage one. And maybe someone else on here might be interested in that one.

There isn't enough info and I have a feeling there is something "off" about that car. Like maybe it's not a legit white one. Not sure. Could be totally wrong. With all the cars you keep asking about, have you taken the time to get a Carfax and/or autocheck subscription? That might save yourself and a lot of other's a bit of work if you do that. Makes it possible to find out some history about the car before asking if it's worth it.

Well..the 25k mile one sold already. That was quick, it was only up for a day. Not really surprised, since I always read selling in 1 day is common.

Yes, I am getting a carfax or autocheck subscription very soon. Once I am completely ready with all my finances, which should be soon.

Yes, that Encinitas one sounds the best.

So does this one with similar miles, MY and also color coincidentally : https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/112...x-white-17995/

Sounds good. Now go make a move instead of posting 5 cars a day
