if you go to KBB.com you can type in the year, make, model and stuff and select dealership pricing and stuff. It will let you know if your getting ripped off. But for a 96 4 grand is not too bad. I'd still look it over real close and look how clean the engine bay is. Look for oil leaks around the valve cover or if you can see the cv boots, check them. Just spend a few minutes looking it over if you haven't. Otherwise i'd say do it.
