Depends on how you define "Low-miles". There are many low miles (i.e. under 50K) that are selling in the $30K range, but most I've seen are 75000+ miles selling in the mid $25K range or lower.

Here is a current market summary:

For comparison, a rare 2005 C4S

I test drove this last week, it was great. I may actually buy this one but want to negotiate a bit on price. No IMS fix either. Anyone care to opine on valuation?

Hagerty is a great resource. I try to blend all appraisal guides and then weight against average of list prices and auction prices (from bring-a-trailer) and arrive at blended value. Seems to work

That's been for sale for a long time. I just ran an AutoCheck on it for you, no accidents, scores a 91 which is good. Has some cool options:

342
Heated Front Seats
416
18-inch GT3 wheel
446
Wheel Caps with Colored Crest
680
Bose High End Sound Package
692
Remote CD Changer (6 Disc)
982
Supple Leather Front and Rear
E9
Midnight Blue Metallic
EX
Metropol Blue Full Leather
M6F
Metropol Blue Floor Mat
P11
Self-Dim Mirrors & Rain Sensor
P74
Xenon Headlamp Package
XCZ
Sport Shifter
Y05
Brake/Shifter Carbon/Aluminum

I think the price is reasonable minus a couple grand for an IMS fix

Thanks for running the check. I've seen it on sale for a while and it's historically been overpriced. It's come down a decent bit but I'm nervous (maybe wrongly) that there is something I'm missing.

It was great to drive....

I don't think you are missing anything. I am in the NYC area and almost went to look at this a couple months ago when I was searching. Yes, it has come down a bit. I don't think you are missing anything. It has good colors (thank god no grey) and if you could just get it down a couple or three grand more, I think it will be a smart buy. I went with a C2 X51 that I could not pass up, in the end.

I agree on the grey (it's so drab...test drove one with gray interior the other day and then got into the above mentioned c4s and it was way more inviting).

I agree on price.. $30k is where it should be but the dealer had just fixed the radiators and brakes and was holding firm (so I left). I hate when people try to recoup money on fix it's you have to make to sell a car....

I have seen other cars at this dealer in the past. Seemed shady and car was very different in person vs as described. Be careful.

Also good to know. Any anecdotes on bad experiences? It's always a leap of faith buying a used car but some leaps are longer than others

The ad has been deleted by the seller. Did you buy it?

That car has been listed for a while... I can only speculate that the Tiptronic is why it's still up for sale? Look like a winner, that's for sure!

^ she is purdy, however, the 4 spoke and tip and no mention of sport seats are all negatives for me. But it looks very clean and a great price IMO
