personally I like the price. You can probably get it for 20,500 or 21 flat, but I still like the price.


Black is awesome! Good luck!

Look under the car for scratches (especially in the front end). That is usually a very good indicator of how the car was treated. Check the clutch for wear ($1000-$1800 for a replacement, and you are in that range depending on how it was driven). Figure out which rear is in the car (search).

Other than that, do the usual checks you would on any car you buy...
