Looking into this car...

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...98493434&Log=0

It's about an hour north of me, so I'd like some input on this vehicle Carfax shows it was a low-mileage NE car originally, and has 3 previous owners (2, 4, 5 years) and that, too, concerns me a little bit.

Any thoughts on if you think it's a good buy if it drives right and looks good?

Thanks!

Price seems a bit high even with low miles IMO. Wheels are hideous, look like a E500. But go for it if it looks good shoot for 16k...

That, and I bet it only has one key too. $15k flat to cover the cost of another key.

Even at 17 it's good value. With those miles they sell for 18-24 here. They are rare in the Midwest. Chicago and ny have a few and that's it

Aside from the wheels, 57K miles is very low. I think the price at $18K is fair. Good luck !
