Well..... www.edmunds.com says $4490 for private seller, $5964 for a dealer.

(Ducking and running for cover)

I would pay a premium for this car, since:

1. It is the last year for the MTX.
2. It is the last year for a REAL SHO.
3. It has 72,000 miles.
4. Has no known problems.

Anyhow, this isn't an offer but I would think somewhere between $4700-$5200
would be fair.
