What is a good price for this?

I am considering getting into one of these and I really dont know the market. It would be my dd for the most part (exepct nice elise friendly summer days) so the next question is how good would it be with light snow on the ground?

thanks in advance.

It will be a great daily driver and as for light snow it will all depend on tires. With the summer tires it will be a handful, with all-seasons or snows it will be great. Do you know what the sticker was? My guess is that car was a 108-110k car when new, the only real option its missing is full leather. My guess 85-87k would be a great deal. Goodluck...

In my opinion the car is worth 79K and my guess by the ask price is that they want more . Here's why I feel this way -
1) Speed Yellow generally does not sell well on the used market compared to other colors .
2) The ceramics are nice on the new market but do not retain value on the used market . (if you tell them and they call this logic ignorance it will confirm how right I am because that car would have sold and not have been on e bay ) .
3) No Sport Chrono
3) Lots of catchy items which are taste specific and do not hold value.

The car is almost two model years old /
The new C4S in comparison (09) is a significant revision .
The new car has a limited Slip Differential Standard !!! This 07 does not .

As for the C4S in the snow ... it works well look ...

A fair price would be in the 80k price range.

I continue to be amazed the power of depreciation the first three years - especially when the new model refresh hits the market

Agreed. PCCB not mentioned in list of features. Car is worth no more than low to mid 80s, especially in this market right now.
