Should I do it? Buying a CS?

I recently stumbled across a 2007 GT/CS for 19k with just on 20k miles. Fully loaded. I'm having a hard time deciding if I should pull the trigger and buy it. My reasons not to is that it could drop a bit more with the highly discounted 2010s and the incoming 11s.

What do you guys think?

Kelley blue book for excellent condition is right around 19k. Maybe offer lower, market is soft right now.

What color? I say jump on it bro. I lucked up when I found mine. The dealer didn't know what they had on their hands at the time.

The new car market doesn't have an incredibly high bearing on the used car market. You're going to see the discounts on the 2010's certainly, but because this car is a couple model years old, the true market value will be dictated more by local influences.

Is the car on a car lot or privately held?

I think with 20,000 on the odometer and assuming it has a few minor issues that all used cars have, you should be able to talk that price down a bit.

If a CS is what you want, also look at the 05-09 vs the 2011+. Go with the car that appeals to you more.

In the event of an offer, it should not be more than wholesale value.
