I love the car, but its just to unpractical for me at the moment.. SO its all bad timing 
But really what I was getting at, is with the condition of the car, the investments and parts I replaced and the 'extras' is $6000 asking to much? |
I think $6K may be a bit of a stretch. It's unlikely that you'll be able to recuperate much from your investment. The major negative is the high mileage: the asking price around here for a similar vehicle from dealers and private sellers is ~$5K. If you had ~50K fewer miles on the odometer, I think $6K is well within reason.
You can try $5500 as a starting point, but don't be surprised if your counter-offer is anywhere from $4500-5000.
