I would personally snap that up right now, if it's in as good a shape as you are stating. The miles are low enough, check the condition of the interior, pay attention to the side bolster on the drivers seat, and the drivers side floor mat. That will let you know if it was used more as a short drive, (getting in and out a lot) or if it was primarily used for distance. check the condition of the oil, pull the radiator cap and inspect it. also there is a vin sticker on all body panels, check if there all still intact, that way you know for sure if it has been in an accident.
When driving it, turn the A/C on high and get into it a bit, listen for pinging (usually when warm), this could be a sign of carbon buildup, all in all just look for the same thing you would on any other car.
For comparison, I would not sell mine for anything less than 12k, but I dont need to sell mine, and I have a little work done to it, which really takes away from the value depending on who you are selling to.
Offer low and negotiate, start the negotiating at like $5500, and let them counter. You might be surprised what someone in desperate need will say yes to, dont listen to sob stories either. Not trying to be heartless, but business is business.
