I'm not sure what the hours are or the equipment is on the boat you're considering. The one on eBay looks to have most (if not all) options and only 154 hours. But it's also 9 years old and needs a good cleaning (no offense to this guy, but I'd be sure to clean those areas where the seats fold out before taking a picture of the nice storage areas!!). I personally use NADA as a good guide, but never as the Bible. One reason - the bank will only loan what NADA says it's worth. For another reason - If paying more than NADA, I wouldn't "feel" like I got a good deal and it would bother me the rest of the time I owned it or went to sell it.
Like I said, this is possibly my favorite Mariah out there, and I'd be all over it - but only if it were a 2001 with even less hours and the same price!
If you "feel" good about the purchase... buy it! I can't tell someone how to feel or justify a certain price. That's too subjective. It's just my opinion that this particular one is slightly high on price.
