Miles are too high, you can find a much better deal then that right now.

I would offer then 18K and see what they say. I wouldn't pay 21 for it. But 18-19 would be a good deal.

I agree. The price is too high for the mileage. However, if you still wwant that particular car, make sure you check if it has all service records, who was teh previous owner, ask teh dealer to do a carfax report on it.

There is a guy on my local board who is selling his 2003 wrx sport wagon with 31k miles for $13,000. Now that is a good price for the miles and the condition of the car. Very well maintained and some work has been done on it. I wish I could buy that car.
