Just for comparison I paid $13,750 for my 58k C32 last week...was ecstatic to get it so cheap. Prior to that I would have considered $14,500 a good deal for only having 59k miles...I just think I was really lucky.

Oh I see it has an extended warranty too...man if thats in good shape its a great deal! I have an excel spreadsheet I use to inspect cars I intend to buy...it has a bunch of stuff to look at (not C32 specific)....I made it long ago back when I was getting financed to be a used car dealer and when I instead got a big promotion at work I killed the used car idea and never finished cleaning up the document...nedless to say it has a lot of good info to consider when inspecting a car...PM me with your email and I'll zip it over to you.

Yeah, the reality of the C32, C55 market is that they've severely depreciated over the last couple years (as have most luxury/sports cars). $14-18k would get a nice example with decent mileage, $20k or a bit more for a loaded, low mileage one with warranty coverage... but that's probably the ceiling.
Heavily modded monsters like Jake's car or Jerry's old car are almost their own limited market - likely less attractive to an average purchaser, but probably more attractive to an enthusiast who might go down the same mod path.

Here is the autotrader ad for the same car. To be honest it doesnt seem to be in bad condition from the pics he postd here. I might give him a call just to see what the deal is. Let me know what you all think.

I wonder if it has service records to prove everything, if it does and the extended warranty will hold up for a bit more, it's a good deal once the car checks out with everything else (paint, maintenance, clear title, and no rust,etc.)
