I have been watching that auction mostly because of the San Antonio location. I have been shocked at the price. Base coupes don't usually get that high of a price.

I live in San Antonio and have a 2005 base coupe. Bought it brand new in 2005. Garage kept and daily driver for the first 4 years. The past year it has been a garage queen and I only drive it every 4 weeks a few miles just to keep everything going. Headlight lense perfect and the car is like a mirror... not a single dent. Interior 100% perfect. I have 56k miles but I can guarantee my car is a better car than that! I personally worked out all the kinks and common problems that you may face down the road.... like the headliner and AC problems. Makes me want to offer my car for sale at 9K

I would rather buy a car with low miles than one with very few miles. You want a car that has been driven and exercised but not abused with too many miles.

By the way, I don't see anything wrong with the headlight lense. I think it is just a crappy photo. As for the seat, it was not an option I was given when I bought mine brand new in 2005. Dealerships do have guys that can reupholster seats with leather. That is probably what was done in this case.... which is why it still looks like a crossfire seat.
