if you dont pay more than 7k and you dont plan on driving it for more than a few years then sure, go for it.

they emailed me pics of the interior. leather. looks clean and no visible damage.
is the mileage something to worry about? i know it's higher than average but is it reasonable?

117k... If I were you I would talk them down.. They DO give you a 3 month warranty/4500 miles, whichever
will come first, i'm sure.. But.. See what the lowest you will go.. When it comes to dealing with them
you can't let them know that you really really want this car.. Tell them you've been looking around
and really couldn't give a **** if you bought it or not.. Give them a fixed price of what you will give them..
Make sure it is an OTD (out the door) price... You can always offer a person some stupid *** offer and go from there,
but it isn't any fun if you just say here is your money..

Start low.. **** them off and work from there.. Just my .02

starting at the low end what would be a good price to offer and what would be a realistic price to pay?
