Got a couple of 05s here.

I've been looking for a fun commuter/cruiser and 20mpg highway doesn't phase me too much and a price around $13k is nice too.

Stamford dealer has a couple of 05 cars.

Not sure what I'm looking at here in terms of maintenance history, but both of them are pretty low mileage specimens. What do you guys think of the prices? What should I go in with if I do decide to take a look? I can't see much reason to buy the 15k mile one over the 35k mile one, seems like little difference in mileage.

Given the importance of proper care and maintenance on the 8, There is something to be said about a vehicle with only 15k miles on it. I don't think I would ever pay 17k though. you may as well get a new one for 5-10k more depending on trim.

I just purchased a 2004 GT, 42k miles with all options except navi at 12.5k. If you can negotiate the price on the 35k mile one, It could be a good choice.

It would be prudent to look over some of the maintenance guides on the site here. Following the 30k mi suggestions will help keep everything running happily.

I was thinking about the 35k one, but they don't even detail on the ad what packages the thing has and there are only three pics. I guess I will have to see once I get there or when I call tomorrow.
