For sure!

I bought my '00 about 8 months ago with 58k on it. I bought it for $16k. I was unsure about the deal because it KBB's for something like $19,500. Needless to say, I fell in love with the car, bought it and have been very happy with it since!

Anyway, get the carfax and have a compression test done at the least. The dealer should provide the carfax at no cost to you.
