Thanks for all the replies. As of now I'm looking at an 04 Enthusiast with 40k and its listed at 21k. It's a dealer car and it has all the maintenance records. Went and drove it yesterday and it felt solid, tranny didn't grind in any gears, and the clutch felt strong as well. I'm hoping to bring the price down a bit, and it still has a little over a year left on the warranty.

What would a reasonable price be for this? Interior and exterior are in immaculate condition, id say 9.5/10 on the exterior and 10/10 inside.

It's not a problem. It's just a loud-*** tranny in N.

You can do a lot better on the price, people are getting 07 base models for 26.5 otd. Just be patient.

Yeh, after looking around I've noticed the prices can vary quite a bit. Although it would be unlikely, but if I can get the price down to 17.5-18.5, it seems like it would be a good deal.

whatever you buy, have it inspected by a mechanic you pay & trust. it will be the best hundred bucks or so you ever spend.

i just bought a 2004.5 Touring for $18,750 from a local individual. 34K and beautiful. i didnt get an 03 because of the tranny and alignment issues. I am amazed at how great this car feels. so solid. The only thing im doing to it is adding Rota P45R's.

Keep looking until you find an 04.5 Touring for under $20k. a Enthu model with 40k miles for $20k is waay too much money. I found mine on craigslist.org
