Default 2004 85k miles Silverstone black interior

4th owner. The current owner has had it about 6 months and 3k miles. One accident and a front fender was replaced. Tires are new but nothing special. Otherwise it looks pretty clean. Given the owner is selling it so soon, there could be a hidden issue especially oil consumption, but obviously no way to tell. Thoughts on the value?

Based on numbers alone, that feels like a nice deal. You certainly want to give the car a good look over and perhaps a pre purchase inspection, but if the car is nice, with no issues, I'm making a move at $18,000.

It's hard to tell on paper or in the pics the true condition of the car. Pics can hide a lot. To start with, that drivers seat is not in the greatest of shape.
Buying such a highly modded vehicle for me would come down to the previous owner - type of person he is, quality of parts who installed them etc.
The relocated battery to the trunk would scare me off LOL.
