She has to keep her grades up, phone goes in backseat, and has to take care of it. They're both really good kids so I'm not too concerned.

Yep your good parents

We unfortunately lived next door to a couple who were ALWAYS showy

had to have the next newest & most expensive anything

they of course gave their 2 boys quite spendy rides

SADLY the 2 kids were VERY unappreciative and pretty much trouble

I was put in many a position to help them over the years when the parents were off on trips etc...

Yeah that was the problem but he had so much pride in it & took such good care of his it was quite sad to see it stripped

I bet, I've had cars broken into in my youth and it always hurt, never stripped though. That sucks massively

Hi guys, you guys think this is a little too much $$ for the mileage?

I haven't been keeping my eyes on prices (plus I'm in Canada), but I'm guessing this is close to fair? Although you'd need a closer look, the top and interior seem to be in good condition.

Personally if I was buying another one I'd probably want a balance between decent mileage and decent price, but that's just me. Good luck with your search!

True, most prices go up regardless of mileage if the car is in good shape. But I never seen one close to 200k.
I think it's too high. There's plenty private party sellers Ap2 Ap1 with less than 160k for <13k
