Icon5 S2K purchase

I'm looking to buy an S2K, and am wondering if an early model S2K 00-03, with low mileage say 30K is just as reliable, and worth paying the same as a S2K 04-06, with 30K mileage?

AP1 w/ that low miles is probably very rare...If so you will be paying a lot for it
I just picked up an AP1 w/ 100K for $8K..which is KBB value.
you might be able to find some AP1's w/ 65K miles +

Logically the 00-03 with 30k miles has hardly ever ridden it maybe on a super nice day within a 7-10 year period from this date, and the 04-06 which was not to long ago probably with 30k means they rode it like on the weekends or something but again 00-03 had spark plug issue i would get that checked asap if u intend to get the older version. Also if you get the 04-06 i believe insurances would be a little higher because of the year difference and how recent the vehicle was made but thats just my $0.02

i got my 2001 new formula red with 33k for $11,700.00 if that means anything to you. Ive seen them for as high as 17,000.00 but really its just gonna depend on how patient u are and how lucky you'll get. My previouse owner was an older woman who became disabled.

I miswrote what I was asking, I meant it is worth paying for example $17K for a 01' that has 30K miles or is it better to pay $17k for an 05' that has 60K miles?
