What is your opinion of this vehicle?

I currently have a 2007 Type-S KBP with about 203,000 on it. It's time for a new vehicle and I have had such good luck and love this car so I am considering another and found this

https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...9368/overview/

Its a 2008 Silver Type-S with 65,000 miles. Crazy low considering its 11 years old. They are asking $12,995 which I think is high and KBB says its high too but from a true value stand point from people who know these vehicles do you think this is appropriate, or close to it?

If not could you please provide your feedback and tell me what I should haggle for it!

there is no way that car has 65k miles, Even the mileage legit its had been hard 65k miles. The previous owner don't give 2 fuck about caring for his/her vehicle. If you fail to notice the car has cover lay dash. those seats got beat up more than mine 145k miles TL. Price wise I wouldn't offer anything past $9k for that car.


On the side note, you got any picture of your KBP?

Valid, I did see the dash, and noticed the ware on the seats. Mostly the seats which is why i'm a little hesitant

Personally if you’re Happy with your vehicle, why not just drive it and maintain it? There are members on here with almost twice that mileage.

Love that KBP also!

something looks off with the front and rear bumper gaps, and esp the passenger side muffler tips... That coverlay has horrendous fitment

I'd definitely pass. Think about it this way, put $4,000 of prophylactic maintenance and refresh (i.e. new seat skins) work into your current car, throw the other $9,000 into a retirement account of some sort, and then drive the car until it drops.

I live in Jersey and that dealership is not far from where I live. It's not a dealership that I would ever step foot in to buy a car. They have a lot of high end cars, and we have a bunch of these no name dealerships in the area, and there's always horror stories. The google reviews seem good, but I really don't know how legit they all are. My personal opion I wouldn't even bother making an offer, steer clear.

My 2008 White Type-S with 79,000 miles appears to be in much better shape than that car. Something seems way off with the scraps on exterior and interior seems really worn.

not to beat a dead horse but that car looks closer to 165k miles between the seats and the exterior... they couldnt even be bothered to Goo-Gone the residual sticky from the "TL" badge. I am automatically suspicious of any dealer that uses HDR photos in their listings.
