Nearly a $10k discount off of what most of these sold for at $10k miles? And it's exactly what you want? If it looks good and you can't find the accident damage, maybe take it to an independant shop for an inspection, haggle them down to $20k if you can given it's history and you've struck gold imo. Uniqueness is NOT an advantage for a dealer, they will have to look hard to find a buyer, call them on their bullshit that 'oh it's a hot color so lots of people want it, better buy it now'
Spend a long time looking at it, in the sun, maybe bring a flashlight. Nothing will suck more than finding the telltale signs of a respray in 3 months if you're that kind of anal retentive car owner. Look under the hood at all the sheet metal, try and stick your head so you can see behind the body panels to tell if they're still dented and panel was lazily filled with bondo. Maybe even get it on the alignment rack to check that it's still a straight driving car.
