Seems resonable. Go take a look at it and check the condition. Look for the signs of accidents and run a carfax. Look out for bondo anywhere on the body, get underneith and look for any creased or crumpled metal or missalignment of body panels. My car had a perfectly clean carfax but it has been rearended, sideswiped and hit from the front. There was previous damage on almost every body pannel when I sanded it down. If it looks ok from that standpoint check the engine while it is running and look for leaks. Drive it around a while and listen for any sounds. It looks like a good deal if the guy isn't hiding anything.

odd is it may seem bring a jack to check under the car. some rust is of course expected but you dont want to end up buying it with holes in the floorboards
