patience, maybe. But these get snapped up very fast, and I think you need both patience and a couple grand over KBB. The one I bought last fall was about that over KBB ($15.5) but also had Boston leather, 18" ZHP wheels, new contis, eibachs, and konis. Photo here:

One piece of advice, do not ignore "dealer" listings. In the last 6 months I have seen one in Colorado, and one in Valencia, both 2013 lease returns with about 30k miles. They were $18-19k each. It is easy enough to seek these out, just look for the Msport wheel spoke pattern. Not every dealer knows what they have. When you find them from enthusiasts like us, they are not likely to sell for KBB unless thrashed or high mileage. You probably realize that this particular combination of NA 6 cylinder MT, 50/50 weight distribution, rear drive, seriously good handling, etc. is not likely to re-appear again. These are destined to be a collector model, like the 1M...
