Good luck. Anything under 50k will be pushing 20G easy, and pretty hard to find, especially with high end options like Nav. I looked. A lot.
Hey guys so ZHPs really caught my eye last year and the time has come to get my hands on one...
Here's what I'm hoping to find:
Year(s):04-06
Budget: 17-18k(ish)
Desired location of vehicle: West of the Rockies
Desired Mileage: Hoping for something under 60k
Transmission type: Manual
Desired number of Doors: 2
Desired Color combos: Silver but would be open to gray or black. Black leather interior.
Desired Packages: Not looking for a specific package but would like to find a ZHP with oem NAV/BT.
In the process of selling my car and lining up funds but figured I'd post this up because I'm looking for something fairly specific and it may take a little while...
Thanks!
Barry

I've only started scouring the web since this past weekend and I've already come across a handfull of close calls.
I expect it may take a few weeks(hopefully not months) but I'm patient.
V_B,
Good luck in your search, you'll probably see some toads before you find that prince. My '04 TIAG with black leather 6 spd coupe is going up for sale shortly (as soon as i can take some pics to post an ad). But per your preferences it's too many miles (113K) and the wrong coast, albeit well below your target price range.

That was one of the close calls! Just missing the NAV.
You sure you don't want to consider that car?....our Nav isn't all that great. You can get a bimmian iPhone holder and a iPhone with iOS 6 and viola you have turn by turn Nav mounted right within eyeshot. :-)

I think you'll find your car within your budget, you may just have to be patient. I had a similar wish list, other than nav - as others have said, it's no bargain and should be far from a deal-breaker if you find the "right" car otherwise. I found mine relatively quickly, but across country in Miami. Luckily my best pal lives up the road near Ft Lauderdale and is a bigtime gearhead, so he did a PPI for me and once I got the thumbs up, handled the local end of the transaction and held it until I had the hauler pick it up. 53k miles, everything on your list except nav, $18,500. See pics via link in my sig. Be patient - at your budget, you should be able to find a very nice car - eventually (or sooner than later if you're lucky like I was). Good luck!

Yeah, I really like having NAV but it's definitely not the be-all to end-all, so that may help widen your choices. It took me months to find what I wanted. GL!
