I wouldn't bother with 73,000 on the clock, but that's just me

you could find a newer year and a lot less miles for only a few thousand more.

13,000 is WAY to much for an 04

i would not say 73,000 is too much for an 04, many 04' 8 on this forum are over 100K. the problem is the price. given the year and mileage, i would not pay anything more than $10000.

I see your point, but I'd still rather find an 8 with lower mileage, even if this one was a decent price.

Not a good deal. That car is only worth about 10k. I got mine with 78k miles on it for less two years ago.

Maybe if you can bargain him down to 11,500 then go for it.

Keep looking. I'll bet there are even better deals out there. A for-instance... found my 05 w/ 40k miles for 12,500 and it had a ton of mods already on it. see photo gallery.

Too much IMO. I've found a few of them for 12-13k with around 50-70k on them almost fully loaded 05-06 around our area. Don't jump until you've looked awhile, or you'll kick yourself for it.
