Agree with above. 2 yrs ago I bought my 2000base with 27k for $12k and I ran like I stole it. S model should pull an extra grand, 2 years younger would be +$1-2k, and then drop $500-$1000 per 10k miles (that's how I judged prices when looking). If he's friendly I'm sure you can settle somewhere between $10-14k. Make sure you drive it (hard) before buying to pick up on things that will likely need replacing if they've not yet been done (motor and tranny mount, control arms, track arms, struts, etc.). lastly, remember that ims failure is more likely (supposedly) in garage queens. You may want to factor that expense into your negotiations - $2-3k for a good shop, $700+all day labor if you do it yourself.
