Default Decent Price for 07 Enthusiast?

What's up everybody? This is my first post on these forums, I've been lurking for a while just reading and gathering information since I'm planning on purchasing my first car very soon. I'm 22 and have been saving for quite sometime to purchase my first car, I currently drive a 97 Acura Integra LS that my parents bought when I was in HS... Anyways, I have decided on getting a 350 and I would prefer it be an 07/08 but have been looking at some 06 models as well. I recently stumbled across a PPW '07 Enthusiast with 48k miles for $19,981

I thought this seemed decent as most '07 models that I have seen with similar mileage have been going for 21k-23k in my area which I feel is very much inflated... I am planning on making a trip to see this car within the next few days to check it out in person but I wanted to get some opinions from some experienced owners/buyers.

Here's the link to the car: http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...5&aff=national

I saw an 08 enthusiast for $16,900. But most i've seen have been around $20,000. If you hold you might be able to find a nismo in that price range. I have seen 2 of them on here go for under $20,000. Don't rush you will find a good deal if you keep on looking.

I would LOVE to come across a decently priced Nismo, but unfortunately there aren't any that are a reasonable distance from where I currently live. As for the PPW '07, I don't quite have my heart set on it but I plan on going to see it tomorrow and taking it for a test drive.

UPDATE: Went to see it yesterday and I was slightly dissapointed... It turns out it is not an Enthusiast model afterall, it was a base model. With that being said, the car was in superior shape. Minimal rock chips, interior was clean, engine bay looked pristine... Very well taken care of car, although it wasn't the enthusiast model I was smitten after driving it. I can do without cruise control but I'm not sure if I wan't a Z without the VDC or TCS. Also, I definitely refuse to pay the almost 20k price tag for a base model... no matter how spotless.

I told the guy I was interested, but was upset with it being advertised as an enthusiast model instead of the base model. He told me he would sell it too me for 18.7k I turned it down and left. Had a voicemail on my phone this morning saying he'd let it go for 17.5k I'm very tempted but I kinda want to hold out for an enthusiast or touring model. Tough decision!!!!

i'm extremely happy with my base model. wouldn't want enthusiast/touring/GT, etc... It really depends on how much you're going to mod the car. VDC/TCS is really pointless as long as you don't drive stupidly in hazardous road conditions. The only thing base doesn't have is VLSD, but that's not necessary unless you plan on drifting in the Z.

I say keep looking.. 17.5k isn't too bad but I think you can do better.. I bought my 07 Enthusiast about 4 months ago with 36k miles for $17.4k
