Sounds like a fair deal. If the PPI finds nothing wrong and you've spoken with the guy a few times, I prefer asking "what would you let it go for?" If he counters with asking price, then make a reasonable offer - maybe $20.

Since you've spent $$ on a PPI, he would know you are a pretty serious buyer. When I bought mine he was asking "x", but I new he wanted to move quickly, and I knew he owed money on the car. He gave me his "min" price which was $1500 under his advertised price. Sold! At $20,900 he might have a low limit of $20. Might want to run the options thru a KBB/NADA guide and see where they think its worth as another price point.
