Asking $18K? Not saying that no one will pay it, but they shouldn't. If the seller can get it, kudos to them.

Blue Book value seems off for a nearly new car. Based on recent Excellence magazine issues where they report what cars have actually sold for, and the recent Buyers Guide, I'd say given the preventative work done, whose costs do not scale down with the age of the car for the next owner, this car is worth $14K.
The question is how good is that egine with that much sitting around. The classic situation you want to avoid with these engines. I would need a really in-depth PPI before committing. But Personally I wouldn't touch it even at the low-ball KBB value.
I'd be curious to hear how many oil changes it's had in those 9K miles over the last 14 years.
