ChrisS,
It's all relative and depends on what the buyer is looking for, as an example, I wanted the best I could find with the lowest mileage, my budget wasn't a factor really because I wanted the lowest mileage with the youngest car. If the grey one was available when I was looking I would have jumped at it, considering that the R was around £32,000 + at new, then £17,000 for a car with only 8k miles is a very good price.
The white R had just had £4,000 spent on it for new discs and tyres all round. That car has 20k miles and could have a huge saving over the grey one. But if you only intend using ita second car and only do a couple or so thousand miles a year, then it could take upto 4 to 6 years before it's at a similar mileage.
So, after such a lengthy post, it's all down to how much one is prepared to pay or what they are looking for.
Yes if this car fits budget, I too would offer 13k and then add you point out you could get a nice warranty and full service and save a heep of cash.
