Hey guys, test drove 05 Turbo S today, GT Silver Metallic, blk interior, 15k miles, flawless. Owner is asking 84k. Is this a fair offer. What should I be paying in today's market? Thanks.

I purchased mine new for $168,000. Mine is a cab. I think the price is great. The Turbo S cars run very well.

A year ago I paid 77k for a 2004 X50. Asking was 82,5. Roughty same miles. (18k)

So one year ago, my 2004 was the same 'age' as this 2005 is now.

84 is a pretty good asking. The "s" adds PCCBs. If the condition is eaxactly what you want, if it is local, etc, etc, then maybe you will be willing to increase the offer range. All conidtional on the PPI of course.

Negotiate accordingly.

For the PPI, try The RennShop in Santa Clara. Marvin will tell you every little thing about the car. I just had him completed a minor maintenance work (never met him before) and found him a very detail oriented person.
