Is it local to you, or is it 2,000 miles away like that turquoise one you were lusting after in your previous post?

That does indeed sound like a "good deal" if - as others have pointed out - a PPI gives it a clean bill of health. I'm also willing to bet that there are at least a couple of other options on the car that you didn't list, but even if there aren't it still seems like an attractive price. I forget what I paid exactly for my 2003 "S" last summer (at the height of the season) with 50K-ish miles, but I think it was like $18K and - at the time - folks on this board were saying that it was an uncommonly good deal.

Maintenance records? I'd want to know oil change frequencies, for sure, as well as any other service history. PPIs just can't determine all faults, as many expensive defects are often missed.
