Been looking for a while... Found this beautiful deluxe 06 / 5spd with 23k miles.. Still smells new inside... Price is consistent with bluebook.

I've done some searches... have a few ideas... Any pointers on what to look for trouble spot wise?

Carfax wouldn't hurt

It's completely clean Carfax wise.

Check the passenger area (specifically the SJB) for any signs of water leakage. Its a known issue with these cars unfortunately.

Also, check the shifting and make sure its "grind free" between 1-2 and 3-4.

23k, you should be free of the initial grinding.

mine was cleared up around 3k, had the dreaded grindage from 11 miles to about 2200, then had it for a couple hundred more but only at initial startups.

hopefully it won't be a problem for you.

She shifted great... very tight (tightest of all driven so far) and shifted "snick", "snick" clean...

Blue book in this area is mid 17s... Sound about right?
