Default 08 enthusiast-does this look like a good deal?

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false

Ok so I had my eye on a black 06 enthusiast with manual transmission but for a number of reasons that probably isn't going to work out. I came across this car which is newer hence some warranty left and has 9000 less miles. Does this seem like a good deal? I drove it tonight and it seems fine. It's in good to excellent condition and has alpine head unit install with mb quart components. (Head unit works with steering wheel control). Car fax looks clean but despite "1" owner, 3 dealers have owned it. What should I be worried about with the 08s? I haven't really seen many issues to date. Any feedback would be great!

I went to look at an 08 touring 6mt for 19800, but then they tagged on almost 1k dealer fee and taxes... but that car had 25k miles on it...
So I would say unless they go down on the price, keep looking. Especially with 2011 around the corner, so many new cars on the market... expect the prices to drop

yeah taxes, tags and doc fees add ~$990. Damn goverment. I was hoping to get the price down $1,000 but just had first visit to the dealership tonight. the KBB and NADA value is over $22,000 retail and around the asking price for private party. This one is the lowest priced 08 within 100 miles of me (Delaware) regardless of mileage. Dealer did mention that the car had been around for a little while, so maybe I can deal with him

Price seems kind of steep, keep looking. Be sure to check out the market place here on the forums.

Asking price is too high.

If this is the Z for you, take it for a test drive. Offer $18,680 and not a penny more.
