08 RL, 5k, what to pay?

So I've been searching for a third car for a while now. I came across an 08 RL with 5400 miles, non-tech, with the A-Spec body kit, A-Spec wheels, and lip spoiler. Black on Black. 3 of the wheels have curbage but other than that, its in pretty good shape. What should I pay? They are asking 30k.

I wouldn't do non-tech bro. You'll def be missing out.

25000 - 30000 if it has 5400 miles that is very low. I would get it in a second!

That is a very good price. Almost makes you question what's wrong with it...?

Honestly, the non-tech thing is not that big of an issue. This is more of a leisure car than a dd. We do our traveling in the Suburban or Tahoe which have On Star.

If that's not a deal breaker it sounds like a good car. But to most of us, the RL is awesome in part because of the tech stuff.

As a point of reference I recently bought a 08 RL non tech. I think you will only be missing out on the navi and back up camera. I personally dont like using navis and know where I'm going 98% of the time. I break a garmin out of the glove box for the other 2%. I've been parking cars w/o cameras for over 20 years. But thats just me. My car had 16k miles and is certified. I pd. 26k. Good luck

While you may not be interested in utilizing factory navi or back-up camera, you should also consider the re-sale value it may give you down the road should you choose to trade this in car in some near future. Hard to justify paying $55k+ car without factory navi IMO. Granted, your garmin may be able to cover more, factory navi option tends to help the resale from what I've seen.

^ good points!! I love the factory nav and hated my dash mount unit from my previous car, but OP says he doesn't care. The miles and aspec make it a great find IMO.
