looks good, check out www.kbb.com or www.nada.com for the retail value of the car. I wouldnt pay much more than the value of the car.

see the problem is that the car is listed for 12k and the kbb value is 10500 but when have u seen a gt or corba that goes 4 blue book value? all of them are at least 2 to 3 grand above blue book. i am talkin about the ones that are private party not just the ones form the dealership.

You are lucky. Cars are more expensive out here in CA. You'd be lucky to find a GT in good condition, with under 50,000 miles for under 14000. I'd go for it.

Try to haggle down the price a bit. Although it only has 43,000 miles, it's still a 5 year old car. Also, take it to the dealer and get a full inspection. It might cost you some money, but if you're serious about buying the car it's definitely worth it.

If it is within reason of KBB than it is a fairly good deal. These cars aren't rare, SO I wouldn't pay more than blue book if it doesn't have any major mods done.
