Im not sure of that yet. But I will ask.
The one thing that I'm not sure if it was added but the rear bumper I don't believe was a stock item. It seems to be rust free, how does it run? How's the interior? Does the heater work? The reason I'm asking about the heater is because mine leaked and it cause my passenger and driver side floor panels to rust.
I dont mind the bumper, I like it. I will test drive it for sure if I decide I want it. The interior is clean and im not sure if the heater works either but I will check for any leaks.
For me I would probably offer him 7k highest I would go would be 8k. 9k seems to be pushing it.
Have you checked the vin?
I will definitly check the vin.
Hope all the info I gave you helps you out!

It has the DREADED fuel filler neck...SLOW and splashes out at you every 7 seconds(ask me how I know),have to turn the pump nozzle upside down and pump VERY SLOWLY!
Maybe 1/2 that money,but not 9g's.....no insults intended for the owner. Just "MY" opinion.

Yup smog suck! Ive always wanted a 1/2. I dont have a need for bigger. Good pointers about the filler. Did not Know about that.
Thanks.

In my case it didn't matter because I would have bought it even with 293k miles but if I was paying $9k I'd want to be sure...
