Im with Mike on certain aspects of the price...as far as value

But a good point is made by Space...!!!!
Its been "Repaired"...Hes right the rubber guards should be black...not blue????

Why are the front tires lookn new and the rears arent?

And this is all from what we can see from the pics...As Rick mentioned..Id be goiong over this with a real fine comb for details!
But I have my suspicions about this one!

A good rule of thumb...on any Used vehicle...Especially from a dealer...
They always add around 5K over the vehicles...true value...
Check it out...and see if its a good one or not....If you get to test drive it...Take it to a shop somewhere and have them put it on a lift and check out the drive line,frame,inner outer tie rods exhaust etc....

Look for hidden damage !!! The carfax didnt say it was wrecked or repaired....But there is evidence!

If it checks out....and you like it....Buy it.

But IMO.....Blacks the best color!

5 owners might not actually be 5 owners.

The dealer might have titled it for the first owner, then when they sold it the dealership buying it titled it, then another owner bought it, etc. Could be only 3 actual owners, just title work making it look like 5?

Hi `Ryan, great find & I like it better 4-Sure
==============================

`Keane, check with you insurance company on the increase $ ? Also consider the upkeep on a SuperCharged Monte + high test fuel costs....

Life is so much better `if you own your own car (ride), instead of having a car that owns you 4-Sure...

It's no fun having a nice ride & no $'s to do anything to it, or go for a drive ? Take your time to find the right one for your budget....Good Luck 4-Sure

Honestly as everyone one else said the price is high, and I am 100 percent confident you could find one comparable for much cheaper. Secondly five owners is quite a lot for a car of only 8 years that each owner for just over a year. Third I would be suspicious of body lines look for over spray discoloration and fading. It is pretty but be careful that's all I can say.
