98 Nassau blue with black mn6 car, 114620 miles, the car is located in greensboro SC and i'm in MA. he was asking 17k but told me he could do 16k. The car looks great in the pics and i really like the color combo. Any advice will help and if anybody is local and could check it out for me it would be great. thanks Steve

That's quite a few miles for $16K. Would really depend on how well maintained the car is, what options are on the car, etc.

I'd keep looking. You don't want a car with over 100k miles do you?
