I hate when people say fully loaded when it isnt. I don't see Navi, or any of the aero parts, no front lip or splash guards, and if you really wanna get technical no door guards either.

Used Coupes, no matter the price, are a huge gamble. Coupe owners (many, not all) are notorious for how they run their cars-- what you can't see now could haunt you. A good mechanic won't spot the trouble either. Another red flag is his ownership of an Evo.... a raw power car- not exactly a "let's go out for a Sunday drive with the kids," car!

I used to race bikes (the kind you pedal) and would sell mine after about a year. The frame would have no scratches and be beautiful, but would be extremely fatigued, and the components would be trashed and irreparable (which require good bike knowledge to spot) unless you bought new ones. A $4-5K bike can cost $2-3K in components alone. I wouldn't buy a used G coupe unless I knew the owner's driving habits and how he maintained his car.

Carfax is completely oversold and unreliable as a source for car buying.
