Anyhow, that is the reason for the low mileage. That means this car was a garage queen for a long period of time. Not good for a car that should be driven. So they are asking 17,897 for the car but that is over my budget...want to stay as low as possible with this deal. Maybe I am repeating my self but also found a couple of bases ...one here in Ohio and another in Illinois. The Ohio car has approx. 3,000 on it and they too want in the 17K range. Car in Illinois has 20,000 and they are asking 13,300 for that one. There you have it ....what I have found thus far. As I said before am going to take my good old time on this and whatever happens happens.
Just to give you an idea, I bought a 2005 base coupe over two years ago with less than 30K on it, perfect condition except some rock chips and I was a hair under 10K - I also bought in January with 6" of snow on the ground. Keep looking, 17K for a base is insane, you could buy a low mileage SRT for that...
