I think so, I paid 22K for an 03 with 61xxx on it just two months ago. 2 owner car but I had every service document ever done on the car which is what sealed it for me. I think you found a steal!!

Yes I saw the tires. They make me questionable. Anyone that would buy those tires scares me.

Also fill it up with gas and check for smell / leak (up to $3k repair) around driver side rear quarter. Pay for an independent inspection, repair bills are not cheap.

Otherwise this looks like a great deal, GL, if you buy you will enjoy

Sorry not feeling the color at all. Probably reflected in price. If you like it though - then its a good deal.

That is a good price! However, as others have said, get it checked out at an indy as the good price can turn into a nightmare. Love the color!

That being said, there's a few for sale in Honolulu as well. The MB dealer has an 04 with 43k and they are asking $28k, so you definitely have a better deal.

Seems like a pretty good deal.... Maybe too good. ?


I bought my '05 with 63k miles just over six months ago had to look high and low to find one that was not abused for $24k + shipping. I'd definitely have it looked at by a good Indy shop if you're serious about it.

Just my .02 cents worth.

I think the "good deal" is because of color. Not many people like green.

Thats funny, I always look at that. I figure if someone with money owned the car and took good care of it, they would replace the tires with good ones. It always make me wonder what else they cheaped out on! I just picked up a RS4 from a Dr. and he just installed brand new Pilot SS. That tells me he dosnt cheap out! Plus that green is horrible! Pay a grand more for a better color!
