Go to www.edmunds.com and check out the True Valu estimate - you got it for wholesale - very cheap. Almost too cheap.

Try doing a carfax, that might bring you back down...
Still, if you get good service from the car, I'd say that that may well negate any detractions which carfax might denote - when it comes time to sell.
If the car turns out to have mechanical issues, simply air them in the tech forum. That can easily save you money. The previous owner might've had an overzealous mechanic, and felt they had to get out of it.
And I just noticed that it's a GT, so yeah, you got a real good deal. The question is, why?

Maybe old dude just couldn't own a sprts car anymore. They can be hard for the older ones of us to get in and out of if life has not been very friendly to us.
Possibly he had it all paid off and 10K was what he needed for something else and knew he could move the car quickly at that price.
I would think that with that lowof miles, it probably doesn't have much wrong with it. Though a carfax is a good idea. Though, one question I have is how did you get a black interior/white top. I thought White tops only came with white interiors?
Is it a Katrina car maybe? thats one thing you have to be on look out for over the next few years.

I've seen white tops with other interiors, though it would have been a special order.
It might well be a Katrian (or otehr hurricane) car - a car with a complete repair (no problems) would depreciate about $1500 (assuming they had to do a front clip or similar). Still a good buy - the car should retail for close to $14-15000.

i contacted the man and asked him it was a repaired car because the mix and match interior and exterior and he said he ordered the white top and the automatic. he laughed when i asked if it was wrecked he told me he didnt like the ride of the car anymore. so he sold it for the price he wanted a convertable sebring so i feel alot better time for some mods
