Assuming it IS in tip top shape. I'd have it taken to a dealership (or another one if you're buying from a dealer) and spend $70 for the safety inspection. They'll find everything that might be wrong with the car.
I paid $4k for my 1990 SPG that was in tremendous condition. But rlcina is right; you'll probably need to fix something sometime soon. Be prepared for it; it is, after all, a 14 year old car that's been driven regularly. I had to buy a new water pump in the boonies of northern NY after mine died on a road trip. A new PS rack four months later...and then some Jiffy Lube idiots killed my alternator by accidentally yanking a couple wires...it starts to add up.
Pay careful attention to the gearbox and chassis rust - these are the achilles heels of c900s.
Otherwise, good luck and if you end up buying, have fun with it!
