I'm assuming this Phil's old car. I'm surprised at the condition you describe.

There are still plenty of good condition, well looked after examples (and they come up for sale occasionally), but you may be expecting a little too much, since ultimately, they are all at least 5 years old.

You list: "virtually unmarked, all of the known desirable upgrades, a seat bolster that looks factory fresh, unscuffed wheels and nothing currently wrong with it". Most of these issues can be addressed for a reasonable cost e.g. scuffed wheels, standard upgrades, so just use that to haggle the price down and you'll end up with the car you want.
