Default 2007 S Aero with 17k miles - and rare color combo!
I wonder why this 2007 S Aero with 17k miles is going for so cheap???
Only $26k!

It's not the first 17k miles that killed the value. It's the last 00.1 mile traveled, and the apparently abrupt stop.

I'm sure the color doesn't help any either.

1) they don't understand digital photography
2) they don't understand salvage value
3) they ought to part it out - may be worth what they're asking for some parts. Interior still ok.

Sheesh.

Could they have sprayed much more grease on that engine to make it look good???

actually, I'm guessing the color would be a benefit (RS green, I believe)

of course it's subjective.....like darker shades of blue, many find it depressing

I had a 73 S in that color. It was one of my favorite cars. I believe the color was called Viper Green.

Part it out, I'll take the steering wheel. $26K? Someone can make this a dedicated track car.

Since it's a member here, what is the story behind it? Track event? Or accident on the road?
