We have been in no hurry and not looking real hard either. We'll see what happens, it's a 2006 Limited with under 18K miles on it. They were talking upper 17's, we are talking 16. I have read on here where people damn near get them for free

but I am yet to see any low mileage Roadsters with auto trans in this price range range when I look at eBay and search online. I think that low 16's will be a fair price for this car. They said the source they looked at is where they got the price, we said check KBB which says 16.9K for a perfect car and 16K for a very nice one which sounds about right. Hard to tell what happens come Monday, may be a 3 hour trip wasted but it's well worth going to look at, sounds like it's in perfect condition.

Also, Edmunds True Market Value Estimator: (Not sure of your location or your color but price would likely be in similar range) $16,300.
Finally, I'm sure you've done a search for exact matches. Take that info with you on the range. Seems like your range may be close -- but I would think the upper $16,000s is way more realistic than the low $16,000s -- especially if it really is in outstanding shape, one owner and clean carfax.
Good luck. I have a coupe -- which I love but I may be going for a roadster in the next year or so as well.
