Default Looks Good! But...
A little pricey for a 99. I just paid $25,000 for my 02 with similar options and mileage. Good luck!

I agree - too high for a '99. You should be able to get a really nice '00 or '01 for that kind of money.

Good mileage, bad price.
You can do much better.

It's a nice car and someone will eventually buy it but at that price you can get a couple of years newer.
