Sounds like a fair deal to me so long as the car is in good shape, no major dents, rusting or other damage.

60K miles is not that high for a 2001. I can sell my 2001 prelude for $11K and it has 75K miles...S2000's should go for more. $12K could be a steal if the car is sound.

Maybe go for 10.5k or 11k? Usually KBB is a rip-off price that you want to beat.
