not bad... especially since it's exactly what you want... tho given the year/mileage, I'd try to get the price down a little further.

Not sure how many cars you've driven in your search, I probably drove 20 before pulling the trigger a couple weeks ago.....I knew the one I bought was "the one" before I got out of the parking lot on the test drive.....make sure you have that feeling, if not the right one will come along.

Seems pretty reasonable to me...if it is what you want and it passes your inspection/road test, I say go for it...
