I’m guessing this is the Blue 2008 Special Edition Gem. Here is the list of things that the special edition had that I can remember.  
4hard doors  
GE 8hp motor,  
Cool air kit with air vents and controller heat sink & heater defroster  
Windshield washer, tilt wheel special badging. Front and rear chrome bumpers special carpeted floor Matt’s with Gem embroidered logo in them, leather seats with embroidered Gem logo, factory overhead radio  
Chrome, headlight, bezels, special aluminum, jam wheels it had chrome plastic nut covers for the rear spat.

To me it would depend on how clean it is/was. I bought what I thought was the cleanest gem I ever found. It was a 2008 special edition with only 200 miles on it. It was as close to a brand new gym as I’ve ever seen. I was happy to pay $9000 for it at the time. (This was 7 years ago) It didn’t rattle or squeak I bit. I would say it was a 9.9 out of a 10. If you posted some pics of it I’ll give you my 2c

We sold the 2008 SE Gem I described above to a friend for what we payed for it. I’m stoked he has it because we still get to see in and he enjoys it. We added a rear seat to it, and it’s doing its thing

How much were they asking for the car. Do you have a link to it?  
Personally even with all the cool stuff that car would have I would still rather have a 2013+ Gem
