Is this a good price? Too much maintenance worry for me but I always liked the the style and presence of these cars
I've been pondering this car for the last couple days, and decided to go see it this afternoon. Needless to say, this car needs a bit more work than I expected, and the mileage is actually 185xxx km, contrary to the post. For anyone interested, below were my observations:

First thing I noticed was a slow leak in the rear passenger tire, needs new rear tires overall/rims could use a refinish. Valve covers are sweating, passenger front window regulator is shot, needs a good detail inside/out, there was slight surface rust forming on the trunk underneath the rear plate from rubbing, and I found a gas receipt in the console for regular fuel...

Seller didn't know anything about the maintenance history as the vehicle belongs to his parents. Apparently there's a $3000 claim on it from 2008. They've owned the car for approximately a year and a half, selling to get into a van. They've reduced the price aggressively the last couple of days, down to $14,800, but he was willing to take $13,800 on the spot.
