This seller is asking $8500 and says he's pretty firm...

... maybe I can get it for $7800 or $8000 --- worth it?

It does have relatively low miles, and is in nice condition - the color is one of my favorites too. Hmm - decisions, decisions.

In today's economy, offer him $5K and see if he'll bite.

It'd be great if he did...

... but I think even getting him down to $7.5k is going to be tough. Maybe if he puts it up for sale in a few more places and it sits for a while... but not right now, I think.

The day after labor day I bought my 2001 for $6900, and this was at a dealer. Private sales should generally be lower. Now that gas prices have dropped, vehicle values may go back up a bit.

Wow, up here in Canada, they are about $10K to $13K

I agree with most. 6-7 grand. If you do make an offer start low, you might end up surprised at what you can get.
