I reviewed the service records, owner (and previous owner) obviously taking good care of. The IMS has not been replaced, but the mechanic pulled oil filter and found no indication of trouble.
My only issue is this - seller is standing firm on price and I think he is asking too much. He listed for $15k, after PPI he is willing to sell for $14.1 as-is so he theoretically came down a little bit.
So I have looked at KBB and NADA Guide, KBB says he is asking $4k too much and NADA says about $2k too much. Any advice on whether I am a sucker if I bite?
He's asking too much with or without a PPI. should be able to pick up a 2003 or 2004 for that much, in about 100 to 200 mile radius of you.
