Price seems high, but it is a low mileage car. That isn't always a good thing per say, as some maintenance items may not have been done due to not hitting kilometres versus age. To be specific, the timing belt should be replaced at 160k kilometres OR at 5 years. Timing belt job can cost between $700-$1400 depending where you take it.

My friend had recently traded in a low mileage 05 just like that, I wonder if it is his old one. Pop the fuel door, have a look inside. There should be a decal inside that tells you what tire pressures the car should run. If there is no decal and it is the same colour as the car, then it is probably his car and it was repainted from a year ender. Look under the bumper and you may see other tell-tale signs of repairs.

If you do get it, I sold my friend an Eibach spring and strut kit that he still has laying around. He'd probably let it go for $200, I can ask.
