What do you think of this car??

In my opinion, if that is the color/combo that you are interested in, the price is more than fair. These cars can be so personalized that if you don't REALLY want that color, then it's worthwhile to spend a couple thousand more in the used market to find a different color combo. If you can buy it for $41k, the price probably isn't going to drop at all even after you drive it for a couple seasons to make up your mind. Perhaps, at that price point, it stands inflating slightly. Obviously you need to have the car looked over first, but I say buy it, try it, and worst case scenario, if you don't like it, sell it for what you have in to it or at a very minimal loss (after taxes/tags/maintenance). You will have to sit it on it a bit to get the money do to the non traditional color combo, but the buyer will be there for low $40's.

As far as the technicality of kit vs turnkey minus, it has a HUGE impact to a lot of people and the differentiation is extremely important, especially so in the used car market. Backdraft is NOT a kit, so you don't have to worry about a million different pieces all be different or being assembled different, only the drivetrain.
