It's a good deal if your happy with it. I have an 04 Torch red with oak interior with 7k on it and I'd hope to get about the same for mine..

Some other thread meantions a 2004 torch red with 16 miles just purchased new from a dealer for 35,000, so perhaps not the greatest deal, but ok.
And of course dealer prices on never titled cars are always higher than used cars.

If you're happy with the car and paid less than MSRP, then you got a good deal. Hell, 6,800 miles is pretty much new! Enjoy the ride.

Congrats!

Its hard to gauge a good deal without knowing what the original sticker price was and what part of the country you bought it from. My vert was under priced by ~2k 'cuz it was because it was being sold in northern mid-west in wintertime vs. similar cars being sold in Sandy Eggo at same time.

A good way to find out if its a good fair deal is to goto www.kbb.com or edmunds.com, input all the information and see what it reports back to you.

3 months ago I paid 38000 for my Torch Red Coupe. MN6, 1SB, Chrome Thin spokes, Borla Stingers. I just went to KBB and they say MSRP (with 11000 miles on it) is still 40K in my area so you did REAL GOOD! Enjoy the car. I know that every time I get into mine I enjoy it more. I even take the longest route I can find to and from work!
