Here is my $.02 on the price. I recently overpaid for a 99 base. I paid $15.5K for a 99 with 50K. It had 4 brand new tires and front brakes. The exterior of the car is nearly perfect. Undercarriage looks great with no sign of repair. The interior is FLAWLESS. I am a big fan of looking at the seat bolsters. If they are worn it looks like an old car to me. I can’t get over that. Mine look NEW. Almost no wrinkles or wear Maybe the seats were recovered?? Either way when I look a the car it looks like new in and out. Even the back window is super clear.

I took a chance on the mechanicals since I can do most of that myself .

The cosmetics are what sold me on the car. The mechanicals all seem ok it runs fine, drives good so I won there too.

Bottom line is the $2-$3K I overpaid would not be worth it to ME looking at a worn seat.

Unless you are going to sell it in a year or 2 spend what you have to get the car that has the things YOU want. We all value things differently. $10K,$12K,or $15K are all great prices for a car that really is fantastic.
