Good price. Check it over thoroughly, but that's inline with a fair deal. Laguna Blue is a tougher color, but if it's in good shape, you are getting the benefit of 120K on the clock, which over 100K seems to put these more in line with fair pricing.

Mine is a 2006 Laguna Blue with 120K on the dial (just turned this week). Bought it last May with 112K for $15,300. Fantastic shape, unmodified, 1 owner, no accidents and all 10 VIN tags present. If that one is remotely like mine, it's worth it. Laguna Blue is hard to find.

I should have been more clear I think. The exterior damage is all fixed. So the only remaining damage is the top, which perhaps in not a huge deal as it has been repaired, and the drivers seat should be recovered. Otherwise, the car looks to be in good shape. The damage happened before the current owner had the car, and that seller did not disclose any damage to them (and they were not educated on the 10 VINs). I am going to pass for now, but I haven't gotten the impression the car has otherwise been abused.

Any idea how the engine bay and the interior looks on that car?

Pricewise thats pretty in line for both the year, color and mileage. As long as the rest of the car is checking out as in good condition you should be good.

Looking at a couple AP2s and both have this odd "overspray" on them, for lack of a better term. I've been trying to poke around online for pictures and it seems like it's perhaps not uncommon? Both claim no resprays and have clean carfax's/one owner, is this just from the factory, or is something else going on here? This is below the door/sides of the car.

@Zogster, are you looking that the paint on the pinch welds? That's totally normal. Usually the pinch welds get filthy from road grime, etc. but that area is painted from the factory on all cars.

Need some advice whether if this is a fair price. Carfax came back clean, but the car was painted by the owner two months ago in Florida when I asked the manager at the dealer. Trying to confirm with the shop that did it but not having much luck with them providing that information. Will prob get a PPI done but should I get it done at a different dealer?
