I emailed them asking for the price before they updated their autotrader ad with the price, and when he replied with a $18,900 quote, I said I'd rather buy a non-rare black with same mileage for kbb, around $14k, he replied with "Everythings negotiable..."

What do you guys think they'd take for it? I'd be just as happy with a black/silver one so the blue isn't really a reason for me to pursue this more than another color.

I paid 16,800 for mine with 45k on it.
How bout some pics?

16k is fair for both parties.

[fastblackmerc]

Offer them whatever you think it's worth... they can always counter-offer or say no.....

[CROWNMARAUDER]

I bought my 04 in july 07 with 43k miles for 19k. It had brand new tires at the time & it has every option. If it is in good shape offer them 17k & see what happens.

[96DiamondVIII]

That's just a shade more than I paid for mine ($18,700) almost a year ago with less miles (42k at the time). Something in the $16-17k range would probably be fair though.

You'd rather buy a non-rare black? ALL MM's are rare.

Remember a good deal is a state of mind, not a price to a degree. I paid 16,895 with 41344 miles. A fair deal in my mind.

[Bobmiddle]

I paid $18900 for a silver 03 with 12k on it 2 1/2 years ago.

Yeah, but blues are the rarest of the rare.

(Won't go into them being the prettiest as well, don't wanna stir up any *****.;))

If it's a vehicle you really want, it's worth whatever you can negotiate....and probably $1K more.

Good luck with whatever you choose, and ENJOY!

80% 90% rule.

Offer 80% of their price.

Settle for 90% all expenses included.

You want the rare car after all.
(even if it is blue)
