Default May have found a good car already.

The details on it are
2003 350z
Red
Touring
60,000 mi
New tires
One Owner
All service work done at local Nissan dealer
(I assume he has all documents and receipts)

Going to test drive this car Saturday morning. This guy is an older guy in his 50's.

Asking price is 12,600.
Edmunds says this car should be about 10,405.

I will be happy if I buy the car for 11,000. Does this sound realistic?

$11,000 - 12,000 is pretty fair.

the year is what determines the price... mileage yes but not as much as year...
i bought my 04 with 55k for 11,800.

so i would pay around 10 to 11 k for that car depending on condition

Did you offer $11,340 as I suggested?
Did the seller accept your offer?

Believe it or not. I'm pretty sure I also test drove this car the same day you did. Wasn't the cleanest car I have ever seen. And the owner gave me some sob story about how if I could wait until later in the summer to buy it he would give me a better deal. Because his sister's car was coming off lease or something.
