Why am I all of a sudden considering this car?!

Rick, I certainly agree that these cars have come down even further in the recent times, but I am very doubtful that you will find a great example of a 600 with relatively low miles in the mid 20s.

Ascari: That history does look pretty good! The only thing that stuck out to me was the dealer found problems with the front struts and upper control arms in Jan of 2015 and recommended replacing these parts, but there was no record of the repairs actually being completed. There's a good chance they were done and simply not noted, but that's one thing I'd be sure to check. It also looks like the brakes must have been replaced at the 30K service (they were noted as being down to the wear bars), but again, no specific entry to that effect.

I see the seller is asking for $32.5K OBO for this one. KBB Private Sale (in Very Good condition) shows $29.8K is a fair price. I do like the charcoal gray with light interior...I also like the photo of the car nicely covered while sitting in his garage! The guy must be pretty picky, which is always a good thing. If you could get the car for $28K, you'd be doing well. Possibly worth going to $30K, if you really like it. Good luck!
