A month ago I bought a VERY clean MY 2000 81K miles 2-owner car (he's owned it for 10 years now) here in S. Cal in excellent condition - recently had the alternator, IMS bearing, brakes, water pump, new rear window, control arms, and other items replaced at a reputable specialty shop nearby. He was meticulous on maintenance. I got it for $7900 as it need a new clutch (cost me $1400 installed). He had all receipts, its a very desirable color combo and 5-speed.

The car you're looking at is a less desirable color combo in a less desirable location, with an automatic tranny. The 97's were not thought of very highly due to pourous engine cases... bottom line is that he is asking an awful lot for that car... even 10K would be very high in my opinion.
