I was thinking the same thing.....REALLY hard to believe that it's never been in VTEC

But anyways, sounds like a great deal and I'd for sure pick it up

 

I think it depends on what you plan on doing with it.

To me it is not worth the extra money.. because a year later it would have 30k more miles, and 2 years later... 60k more since I DD my S. I wouldn't pay extra for ultra low miles if I knew I was just going to rack on a ton of miles soon after. Basically, it just accelerates your depreciation if you drive a lot, because once it has the higher mileage, its not longer anything special.

If it's just a weekend toy and will be babied, then I'd say its worth it. It would probably retain its 'low mileage rarity' value for quite a while.

 

Post Pics! I think it's a good deal

 

i see nothing wrong with paying over KBB for a pristine example of a fine automobile.

it's kind of like buying a mint baseball card, ungraded it's worth $10, graded it's worth $100. forget it, bad example...

you know what i mean....

 

Hot news flash: KBB advertises AVERAGE price for year, mileage, condition, etc. Some sellers are going to get more than average price, some will get less.

 

Yup! And what some people call "Mint" I would call "beat up!".

My idea of mint means you can't even find a scratch in the paint without looking the entire body over from 12" away! No noticeable door dings, as well as no seat or steering wheel wear. A car in that kind of shape should fetch a premium because you won't find another in that shape for a long time, if ever.

 

 

well i bought my 03 with 65k miles and its in perfect condition. the only thing is one little scrape about 1 cm long from a rock on the highway. seats are in pristine condition. everything looks and behaves like it was brand new. kbb valued it at 17.5k and i paid 12k for it. if you look hard enough long enough you can find an immaculate ap1 for under kbb value. thats just my $.02 but you can only say something is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
