If this is legit, it may be worth the $5k asking price:

Yeah the low miles and condition are a big deal. From a value perspective, it is unclear if it has the L03 or L05, and it is not a d'Elegance.

Oddly I got this as a Cars.com inventory alert/price drop e-mail.

Also, Tire Pros! And a rear collision but back in 07 and likely completely unrelated. Unless it was more recently hit and they just aren't saying. I guess it could be that. One owner though.

I don't know if it is AWD or RWD but it appears to otherwise be a clone of mine, with the 1SG package.

It's not perfect, but it's original, low mileage, and no rust. Let's see what post-COVID pricing does to this one. NADA list 'clean retail' at ~$3500. Auction is currently at $2200. If things work out like other recent non-garbage stuff, this car will go for ~$6500.

I found this locally. It is extremely clean but also pricey.

Slashed! To 40% over book value. To be fair, cars are only worth what someone will pay for it, which might not be some the same number as an arbitrary number in a book/website. And that number is somewhere under $24,500 in this case.

It's kind of crazy that this same year SL with the same engine as my car was $40k more expensive.
