Why not go check it out. The seat looks consistent with the mileage, maybe better. If the title is clear and clean and it passes the PPI why not. Maybe he just wants cash fast.

It looks like a good deal but I am not sure I would classify it as the deal of the century. There are a lot of cars listed in the high teens with similar mileage. Yes it is a 2003 and you get a little more power and a glass window, but it appears lightly optioned from just the pics. Go and look at it.

I think it is a decent deal, but not crazy good. If it is what you are looking for and it can pass a PPI, could be a good driver.

These cars are going lower and lower because of the quantity on the market. Last week we did a PPI on a clean 00 with about 80K, the guy was picking it up for 11.5K. Another 00 "S" with PSS9, Kinesis, 52K, for 26.5K

called the guy...

he is a auto broker...

he said the car is immaculate. craigslist says its in Universal City, but he said he drove it down to Santa Fe, New Mexico yesterday because there were 2 potential buyers, but he can drive it back to universal city if I want to see it

he is in it around $17000 so hell let it go for a couple hundred over.

just thought id update.

the car pictured is clearly an 02 or earlier due to the front and rear bumpers and rear tail lamps......no one else noticed that?

Though its hard to see in the photos, the bumpers are the 03 and 04 style. If you look at the rear spoiler its more obvious.
