Default Low Mileage AP2

Hey guys, so I’m in the market for a ap2 with certain requirements:

Clean title
no accidents (Clean Carfax/AutoCheck)
all 10 matching vins
No paintwork and bodywork
low mileage (< 50k miles)

Budget is 22,000 cash (no loans)

Open to all colors but prefer Grand Prix White or Laguna Blue Pearl
Since my criteria is pretty strict, I know I will have to go to out of state for this.
I am located in Northern Virginia.

703-835-1778
Thanks.

Pretty limited choice based on color. Can be done but may take time.

Of the 28,000 AP2 cars imported only roughly 3,700 cars match either color preference. All but 1200 of these are '06+ DBW cars including all 1810 Laguna Blue Pearl cars.

My priority list was very close to yours but was headed by 2006 or later (DBW) and color was not on the list at all. Condition being paramount. Mine is is a 2006 Silverstone.

Understand completely, just stressing the need for patience. I'm not sure I can visualize the differences of Laguna blue vs Suzula blue. If you add that blue the imported number increases another 3100 cars. All these have blue interiors according to the import chart published here periodically.

White 2004 advertised here in Mobile. But your $22K budget seems unrealistic for this color.

it’s a realistic budget. How much would a 04 with 50k miles go for? Not 26k. Hah

For some reason the white cars seem to be commanding premium prices. Or at least they're advertised at premium prices. The prices seem to be creeping up.

$24K may be more realistic for white, otherwise I agree $22K is reasonable as long as condition is the criteria and not color. As I advise: don't miss the car of your dreams for a couple thousand dollars especially if this is to be a keeper (wife, not a girl friend).

this is a realistic price and actual market value for a gpw 04-05. Premium prices are occurring right now cause of the season. Note that on the listing it’s being sold towards the end of the summer.
