Answer
Hi Sonam

The post is catchy, however you're dealing with a vehicle going on 11 years old,and it comes down to what a buyer is willing to pay as there is no true book value for this age.

I would test drive, and if still interested start with an offer around $4500 to $5000. max and deal subject to an independent mechanical inspection as you don't want any hidden surprises should you decide to persue.

I still wish I could view this car ?, I very rarely want to get involved with history as I would have hundered of buyers sending email, I will make an exception as this vehicle got my curiosity the way it's posted - send me the vin # and check the make private box.

Just to make sure we are on the same page study this link on my website    http://www.usedcartips.org/TESTDRI.html  and step # 2 open the web page  " take to mechanic "
