Default Looking at 04 - opinions needed

Hi all,
Almost finished with a Z4 lease and probably jumping ship to a Vette. Don't fit in the C6 so I saw a 2004 Silver, 6spd, looks like standard suspension, glass top. No price on it, figured low 30s. Ran carfax and the car is from MI and was in a "minor" front end collision. I'm in CA.. what do you think a reasonable price is? High 20s? Paint and body looks good, interior is very good shape too.
Thanks

What do you mean you don't fit in a C6? A C5 is not any bigger...

Besides that the "minor" collision caused the car to have a salvage title or not?

If it is a clean title and a flawless car, I'd say around 30k.

I say if you keep looking your bound to run across a similar car that hasnt been in an accident. Buying a used car is risky enough much less buying one that you know has already been in an accident.

Best of luck,

Thanks all. Yeah, I'm 6'4 260 and it seems like they dropped the dashboard of the C6 and even the XLR Caddy down into my knees/shins. I fit much better in the C5.
