It's deffiently been well taken care of, however if you were only have 9 grand to spend on a car deffinetly don't go for a car that is 9,900 don't forget that you have to pay tax tag and title as well, Depending on the local laws etc, that could be an extra 500 bucks...meaning you cold pay 10,400 for the car. I'd try and talk him down some more if he says no. Just keep looking a budget, along with no time restrains is key.
