I understand, but overall condition to price. Not a good buy? I’ve been searching and can’t find anything that’s reasonably priced and clean. I’m not looking to pay an absurd amount. Any feedback welcomed

Were you able to test-drive it?

That's certainly a "fair" price on that thing. Looks great. If it drives great and looks as good in person, I'd take it. I don't think it's worth haggling over max $1k to get the car you want in that condition. Low miles, garage kept, etc. The only hard part is making the decision to write the check. After that, you'll be all smiles! haha

Seems pretty reasonable if a Carfax and PPI check out. Keep in mind that the car is about 20 years old. It’s going to have some wear (i.e. age) even if very well kept, somewhat low miles, and garaged. It’s not uncommon for the driver seat bolster foam to be torn/deformed under the leather. These are easy to have repaired at a seat leather repair shop. I experienced this on my low mileage AP2. You want an example that has been maintained and you can generally tell well cared for.

if this were your car already and you were wanting to sell it how much would you want for it? That is what you should offer for it. Your vendor appears to have taken VERY good care of it even if used - that is the best of all worlds. He hasn’t abused it, it would appear.
