I was in a similar spot as you 2 years ago. Now granted, the car only had 55k on it and it was the anniversary edition. I ended up paying $9k for it from a dealer. If you could get them down to about $6k, I think it would be a decent enough price if you like the car. So far reliability has been excellent....I have only had to replace a door handle and hood release beyond general maintenance. The car runs like a champ...but has no power whatsoever. If you want reliability and gas mileage inside a sexy shell, go for it. If you want any type of power, save your money.

A lot depends on your location. There are seriously NO DSM's in my area within 100 miles. I know of like 2 people that have one, and rarely see them for sale, so take that into consideration when determining what you think it's worth. You may be searching for awhile to find one you like.
