I think a 2000 in general in a smart year to purchase, but the price is a bit high. If I were you, I would run a kelly blue book on it for your zip code and the condition of the car. see what the Private Party value is on it and go from there.

I just looked at a 2000 GT Vert with 28k on it....mint! (for a friend) Bone stock too. I offered her $11,500. The KBB was only $10,800, so I was VERY generous. We ended up buying a 2003 GT Vert with 6,000 miles for $21,000. That car should only be about $9,000. Most owners that are selling cars have no idea how crappy the values of them are.

Don't over-pay, but on the other hand, it's not an investment. So find a price that you are comfortable with and don't look back.

BTW, I ran a KBB on it for my zip code and it came back at about $9500 if it is in Good Condition. It would be worth $10,100 if in Excellent condition. It is almost impossible for the car to be an "Excellent" with 44k on it...the standards are really high. But, I would certainly not pay more than $10,000 for it. You Zip code may have varying results adn I also don't know how it is equipped.
