Good price?

So i found someone willing to sell a used fr-s for 24,275. Is that a good price? Its in good condition with 5500 miles on it. Worth it?

A brand new one with manual tranny (blue) is $25k (around 27k after rice tax and other bs). Not even one year and having 5500 miles (and asking for $24275) sounds like it's too much. Negotiate it down to $23700 if you can.
What else did he do to the car? Any modding?

That's so close the price of a new one. No way.

Yeah if you really have to ask us that question you should probably do some more research on the car.

You could probably find one in the 22k range with those miles. Buy a new one.

Unless you can't find a new one in your area without a bunch of B.S. add-ons, there's no reason to buy a used one for practically the same price as new. A new one is $24,955 with destination.

I'm another one think it will be better to get a new one.
1/2 reason is price and another reason is there is a good chance the car was abused.

That's basically the price of a new one. And it has a lot of miles only being a few months old. I'd buy a new one.
