Local manual 135is

I like it! I however do not like the price and especially given the mileage. https://www.facebook.com/commerce/li...are_attachment

At $8k maybe even $9500 I would purchase it. $23k is nuts!

The 135is is well loved in the market. That price is fair to low based on miles and what others have gone for. I personally don't get the value of the "is" model over the standard 135, but it does command a premium.

This one is tracked and with more miles at $25k (as an example)

Seems “is” really only matters if you want the dual-clutch shifter. Not sure what else it gets you in a manual that’s worth a huge mark up.

It all depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is.

I mean, the N54 is way better than the N55.

The is and all later 135s are N55, though, right? Only the early cars and the 1M have the N54?
