I did chuckle at the fact that he was trying to charge $18,000 for the car, I was expecting it to have under 100 miles, but I could only shake my head when I realized that it had almost 200,000 miles.

Some people just don't understand depreciation.

This car should be listed under the heading "nice price or crack pipe" at Jalopnik

This car is definitely in immaculate condition, cosmetically.. But with that amount of miles, I would pay $1500 at most.

Not with the front and rear bumper damage, it isn't. And who knows what the seats look like under those covers.

Update: no response from seller. No surprise there.

I guess if it has the gold option, its all solid gold. Did they even have that on those years?

Good point. I didn't notice the bumper damage from my brief glance at the photos.

From my understanding, the seats have never been sat on, and the covers have always protected the leather. I could always be wrong, though... But that's what it seems from the description.

In this case.. $700 at most.

The seller is under some misconception of the ACV.

Down to $12,000. Getting a little closer to reality.

This would probably sell at $5.5K pretty easily. Then I'd want to do the TB, all fluids and replace the ECU caps. When thinking of it that way, $4K is a good price.
