Instead of asking Is this a good deal? there is a better way.

Make a budget
Check KBB.
Visit the seller and make your best offer.

Sorry, forgot to add my budget. I added it in my OP, around 13k.

Checked KBB, it looks like it's a good deal

I was just kind of looking for some last minute comments and reassurance because I'm 100% sure I will buy this if the guy emails me back soon.

What is it worth? is a difficult question because the question is actually What is it worth to you? That I do not know. Overall the 2003 is a sound investment. 68,000 miles and you looking at replacing items like dampers in another 10,000 miles.

Take the car for a drive. If you like it buy it.

Sounds like a good deal to me.I have the same car/year..different color.
See it,drive it.Most of what is mentioned in the ad was mechanical.Little said about
cosmetic condition:seats,paint,dents?etc.Also,is the car completely stock...no mods?
I would not get hung up and not buy the car because its a AT.You may be apt to be facing more potential problems if the car was a MT.
Good luck!

email? Forget email. Visit the seller and whip out a roll of $100 bills. That will get his attention.
