If you like Rio Yellow, how about a 2008 with 22k miles for only $22,900?

Going to check out a 2001 Silverstone with 30,000 miles at a local dealership in a little bit. They are asking $16,975 on the website. I am sure I can get them down from there, the question is how much would be worth it do you think? From the pictures the car looks mint. I'm assuming it to be mint also because of such low miles. It is a 15 year old car, so my other question is, if it has been garage kept do you how much maintenance do you think it would need. Would it act more like a car with 30,000 miles, or a car that is 15 years old? The car I have right now I bought brand new, haven't bought a used car in 13-14 years.

You need a detailed service & maintenance history to make any conclusions. Real documents - not hearsay from the dealer.
If it was well cared for, it should be like a car with 30,000 miles.

I found a 2007 with 10,000 miles for $25,500 does this seem reasonable? Wish it was white but the interior still smells new and its silver in very nice looking condition. I want a low miles unmolested one for fewer repairs and better resale later. I also found a beautiful white with red and black interior 100,000 miles one car fax accident side swiped car towed for $21,800. It's the color I want but conflicted on getting the low mile silver vehicle with a stupid XM radio antenna on the trunk lid available from someone that does not have it listed for sale. Thoughts? Opinion? Thank you

I would go for the unit with 10K miles. With no marks on the history report you will have less of an issue selling it down the road. Worse case you can always wrap the car to whatever color you want!
Where are you located? That will help determine if the price is reasonable.

I'm located in Silicon Valley 95070. Thank you for the recommendations.
This is the white one. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ctd/5092342805.html
This is a red one locally 34k miles for $26k. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/ctd/5093540174.html
I'm inclined towards the low mile one too. I have to sell a lot of toys to get the fundage since no car loans allowed by my wife.
