At the 1:49 mark, you can see his center armrest is completely trashed, but the rest of the car looks very clean. $12k "firm" sounds pretty ambitious -- I guess it all depends on whether it's what the buyer wants (and what mechanical problems he's concealing, given his lack of candor about the upholstery issue).

^I agree. His price is a little steep. I was recently (3 weeks ago) offered 13k as a trade in when buying the newer sport hybrid rlx. I thought that was pretty ambitious if I listed on the private market even for my car given the values. Mine is an '07 with 88k that's essentially turn key after a vacuum and wash.

Definitely a nice car though!

I see that video is dated December 2014, so if he still has it, I imagine the price is lower by now

Ha! Nice catch!

Not that it matters, but I also had two other thoughts:

1. This guy called his car a "Tech package" car, but I suspect he doesn't know what that means -- he doesn't refer to any of the specific features of the actual Tech or CMBS packages, and as a longtime owner, you'd think he'd know they were rather special on this car.

2. This is a Sunshine State car. Given his "quickie glance into the interior" method of concealing the spiderweb cracks all over his center armrest, I wonder if he showed the car with all the headlights on to conceal UV clouding of the headlight lenses?
