Default Quick Purchase Question

Looking at picking up a Lude.. I'm suspicious though..

2000 White SH
56k miles..
Appears mint (notice I say appears).
No mods - only tint.
Adult driver.

Asking "$11,500" obo..

Seems low. I'm driving it tonight. private party dealer..

If its right - I'm going to take it home, compression test, look it over.. If its right - I'm going to pick it up in the next couple days..

Does that seem cheap to you guys or is that right??

Thanks for the advice.. Since I feel squirmy about it from the get-go - I will be SURE to check everything very well..

First run a car fax that will tell you if anything major has occured then look at it very very carefully the body panels should all line up equally on both sides then check all the black moldings for overspray --- The price seems right to me though it is a 5 year old car and not many banks will loan over 2-3 years on it ....

I will definately be checking all the body panels.. Carfax already came up clean so thats all gravy..

And I've talked to bank about financing and I'll good there too.. I guess I'll just have to look over it good, compression test and go with my gut on it aftere I've put some miles on it..
