I parked next to a speed yellow S about two weeks ago. (I don't know whether it was an 03 or 04), and I couldn't help but feel a bit drab in Arctic Silver.

I checked the pricing data on my car when I made my purchase a little over two years ago. I checked 4 buying services (Edmunds, Kelley, NADA and Consumer Reports.) The lowest private party price was Edmunds. I paid about $300 less than that. At $26,000 you are offering almost $3000 less than Edmunds says the car is worth. Great if the seller will go for it.

In this area (HQ for Carmax) the floor price tends to be what Carmax will offer for the car. If your seller knows about Carmax (and there is one in your area) that may be your competition in today's softer market.
