Default Please help, looking at purchasing 1999 C5 Vert

Hello,

My friend wants to sell his 1999 triple black vert with all available options minus the upgraded suspension. I was able to put about 500 miles on the car and wash and wax. The car drove great no issues. Paint is about 8.5/10 due to the standard nose stone chips. He has about 38k miles on the car. Interior is 9/10 and all electronics and a/c work great. He also fixed the exhaust issue under warrant and added the antenna defeat option. I think he might even throw in the car cover. Everything else is stock.

He is willing to let it go for $15k out the door.

It seems like a good deal. What am I missing?

I sincerely appreciate any and all guidance...

Best of all--you know the car and the previous owner. Don't walk to the bank, then to his place, RUN!
