Thats going to be a very risky buy for somebody that doesn't do their research or know what to look for - the 2006 E cars had several problems early on, and a car with 500hp with all the problems back then...plus with 21k miles....I'd stay away unless I knew the seller or was able to talk with them a lot and spend some time with the car.

And that interior sure does look like 21k worth of family time miles [&:]

Only thing I don't like is that it was a smoker's car. The 'Info' button has had its *** kicked by nicotine fingers.

I'd actually feel more confident about a car that's been driven some. Problem cars were in the shop all the time. If the guy got that many miles in two years (two summers, really, in this part of the country), then he probably either got problems resolved or didn't have them.

Even if you put all that aside and stipulate that yep, a car like this is inherently risky, the money saved at that price could fix a whole bunch of stuff that might break.

look at the picture with just the shifter and it looks like the whole boot and plastic cover are off thecenter console and just sitting there? Is that just my own inpression? I agree,it does look a little ratty inside, I mean you take a couple of hours and clean it up or just pay the $150.00 and have it professionaly done and and build it back into the price if you have too. Your right about the info buttons they are all dirty and smeared out.

I have never sold a vehicle except a winter beater for $400, that I didnt at least spend an afternoon cleaning up and detailing especailly a high end car like that.

I do like the white and blue graphics probably one ofmy favorite combos. That price is also pretty low$$ for a car that probablydrove out of the dealership at over $70k. If the miles were around 12- 15K or so I'd have to think about that.

with all the money saved, just have the intirior professionally touched up and bring the seats to an upholstry shop to have them restraighten the seats and get the creases out. They can even redye them charcoal black if you want. Seriously makes the seats Brand new again

fun cars but really crappy resale value

Say When

Abbas pretty much just summed it up completely.

21k on a saleen extreme is nothing. car is a great daily driver.

The reason our cars have a crappy resale is there$50,000+ new. Just like the vett's there about the same new and now you can pick up an 05 for $30,000 all day long. Onceour cars get to about 20-25 grand they will stay there for a few years. i bought an 03 cobra right when they hit the 25,000 mark for 25 thousand and i sold it18 months later for what i paid.

RESALE is bad on upper end cars

2008 sl 550 = $105k
2006 sl = 55k

2008 maserati QT -$110k
2006 maserr - $65k

2008 m5 90k
2006 m5 55k

it happens. car values sink

if you are worried about resale buy a car that is used but as new as you can find or just lease (never heard of leasing a saleen)
