Thats not a bad deal at all.

But if they dropped the price $2k, there would probably be a reason. Especially since its from a dealer.

I would have it checked out thoroughly, then go from there. $9500 isnt a bad price at all. Skip all those mods though...do yourself a favor and read through the forums and do a ton of reaearch before you start spending money on the car. That will, I assure you, save you from wasting a ton of money in the beginning on stuff you *think* you want now.
