That sounds like a pretty fair price. Maybe a little high, but just a little. I just picked up a '99 SE also fully loaded (Cassette + CD changer) with 40k miles and warranty until 10/28/02. I paid $17,900. I might have been able to chew them down a bit more, but I got tired of waiting and shopping around. Also, the paint on this car was like new. It's hardest to properly fix bodywork problems IMHO.
In the end, you have to weigh the issues. Regardless, try and get the car checked out by a mechanic. Some things to look for, that I found out about afterwards:
- head gasket leaking oil / coolant
- steering / suspension vibration at highway speed - this can sometimes be axle bearings that need replacing
- belt tension pulleys
Of course get the carfax report and service history if available.
I love my car so far. It still needs a few tweaks though. I also plan on picking up the AAA warranty when the factory one runs out.
