Thinking about buying a G

I found a good looking G for 13k....it is a 6spd black 2005 coupe with 90k miles. It only has one owner and has all the options available. Is 13k too much? I'm pretty sure I can knock em down a thousand. It is stock so I know it wasn't abused. What do U guys think? Also what should I look out for when buying a used coupe?! (It is a dealer care not a private owner)

With 90k Yes too much. Check kelly blue book for the exact value and ask a thousand or a few hundred lower than the value u got.

Check the underbody suspension area for torn bushings, ball joints (rubber pieces connecting the suspension together), and steering area. Look over it like any other used car. 2005's had the REVup motor update, so they put out 298 HP. Some of them (more then you would hope) have issues with oil consumption. Check this too.

Price is around what I paid to a merchant sale. You are getting a year later with the same mileage, ask around 11.5-12.5 in the chicago area. Odds are it probably has some bumps and scratches too?
