Also for comparison, i bought my 2000 2.7, 115k miles about a year ago for $7500, so both prices are high in my opinion. Its definitely a buyers market out there.

Don't be afraid to low ball the dealer. He probably took the car in trade and factored into the deal the fact that he will probably only get wholesale or below for the car. So play the waiting game with him. The car costs him money just sittiing on the lot, so if you come in a bit above wholesale for the car, he may bite, since he avoids the uncertainty of an auction.

Thank you all for your input, much appreciated! I absolutely will get a PPI, that is absolutely a must. Since I've first began my search, I think its wise to drive a 2.7 before I pull the trigger on anything...
