2005 Limited Roadster, supposedly 9/10 exterior, 10/10 interior, owned by former repair shop owner. Red with a new black top, new tires all around, and new "computer", he thinks ECM, needs to be initialized, says stereo does not work so needs the same, drives it all over SE Texas 3 days a week, high mileage at 150k, was asking $6500, down to $5500. I offered him $4k'ish, he said no way, the top and tires cost that much. The miles really worry me, as that to me is max value on this car, if I wanted to sell it I would never get anywhere near that, even in perfect condition.

2007 Black w/ Gray interior , standard,looks almost perfect but has salvage title due to water leak in rear trunk ruining some top components, asking $8200 but taking all offers. I am unsure about the salvage title and how much it drops value, but I would not consider anything over $6k-not too much more and I could be looking @ MB SLK 350's, which def have a higher resale value.

One thing I have noticed is these Xfires seem to really stick on the market for a awhile, even priced cheaply. I made an offer on a 2005 that has some issues, they wanted $4k 2 months ago, I offered $2k, he said no it was his daughters and had sat there for a year, was not even running. I told him to ask her about $3k, he said she said no less than $3500. Too much, sine it wont start, has a hit in the left fender to be repaired, etc.
