I bought my 2000 S back in dec of 13. It had 90k and some change. I went in knowing that it would need things done being the age and mileage. I am going to change the IMS when I do the clutch. The only "problem" with mine is an annoying rattle which sounds like it is coming from the exhaust. I would go for the S model.

Not much of a Man
The guy told you he would take your offer, IMHO he is not a honest person to try and get more money out of you. A deal is a deal....did you see paperwork that the IMS was replaced ? and if so call the shop and verify.
Dont walk away without letting him know that he is not a man of his word.

I did tell him Dwight. And he was just trying to drive up the price. I decided not to match the price, and he called this evening and asked to renegotiate!! However I took the S for a test drive today, and it just felt right!!! So I'm going to arrange for a PPI next week.
Thanks for the help folks!! You guys are awesome!!

Sounds great! Good luck on the PPI!
He wants to negotiate? Unbelievable  Just to mess with him, I would tell him, ok, 25% less than the original $8500 "deal". Stick with the S

No, don't do that! Just because he's dishonest doesn't mean you should be (treat people the way you want to be treated) . You did the right thing; you'll love the S.

I know, I wouldn't actually do that, it is just irritating when people don't keep their word. Speaks a lot to their character and now it makes the car questionable. It is really ridiculous that he wants to negotiate again. Sounds like either the other offer was never real or the mechanic backed out. Either way, time to move on from that car IMO.

He fishing! I doubt he has another offer. Just let him know your interested at 8500, he has your number. I'd bet he calls back after the weekend.
