I could be wrong but is the victory blu color like on the MCV?
Window sticker says "Sebring Blue". I agree with you, it looks similar to the Victory Blue. Perhaps the same?

LE just has cosmetic changes primarily, correct?
It's just a trim level that has some cosmetic differences correct.
I would be more concerned about the control arms and the heater core. Price seems a bit high in comparison to all the closing auctions in the last year.

These cars don't do well at auction as they are generally a mess at that point, or at least assumed to be. A well sorted example with these low miles, in a condition as this one appears to be is a very good buy.
Control arms shouldn't be an issue at those miles, and a heater core can be bypassed for $5 if not repaired. Factory clutch is on borrowed time at those miles and will be a $2000-4000 pain in the ass to DIY, or a near five figure repair if you want someone else to do it for you. At the end of the day, I'd rather pay $30k for something ready to go in near perfect condition, than trying to rehabilitate an auction rat I picked up for $10k less, in guaranteed less perfect condition, with another $10k in deferred maintenance.
Very few people are doing things like changing the clutch themselves. After about 20 years, low mileage or not, the bushings, dust covers, gaskets, rubber etc disintegrate. This posting has essentially zero information on all of the important items. Even auctions for similar cars with comparable or lower mileage that are well maintained plus the necessary information an informed buyer would be seeking sold for less.

I think you're vastly underestimating that figure, especially here on this forum. That said, if this is the case, it only weighs more into buying something with a fresh clutch.
Everything does, but my 15 years of experience across owning 2 M138 platforms and maintaining several others, I've not see control arm issues inside of 35k miles.
I'd like to see what you're seeing at the auctions. I wasn't implying someone should buy this car sight unseen, I was saying it's worth what he's asking in the condition it's in, IF it has a fresh clutch and checks out.
Yes, we on the forums are more likely to try and do some things ourselves. Are there some that do? Absolutely. I'm curious to know how many on here have done their own clutch.
Most of the cars I've seen all sub 35k all had blown out bushings and ball joints bushings in need of dire service. Check out the last two years of BaT auctions and the resulting sale price while keeping condition in mind.
They may be worth it to us on the forums who follow the issues and know the costs BUT the market is returning back different data.

I was thinking the same thing, that blue exterior would really be lit off with Ferrari Tan or Saddle leather in there.
I don't mind the blue interior but the saddle or ivory colors go really well with blue
