Is this car worth it?

[Scott50485]

Here is a link to the 3000gt I am interested in buying. (http://www.autotrader.com/findacar/vdetail.jtmpl?car_id=113870070&dealer_id=70927&make=MIT&distance=50&max_price=6000&model=3000GT&advcd_on=n&end_year=2003&min_price=0&certified=n&address=22554&search_type=used&advanced=n&start_year=1982&color=&car_year=1995)
I was wondering whether it was worth it or not, the stats of the car are in the link above. His asking price is $5732, KBB says its worth $9,500. Should I try to lower the price further, if so, how low? I have yet to check out the car personally, but when I do, I plan to give it the FULL inspection. Any advice on what to look for specifically when inspecting (common places where something usually goes wrong or is covered up in a 3000gt, ie missing bolts, etc)? Thanks.

PS. Can someone check the history of the car? The vin is: JA3AM84J4SY029515

Nice job Wesley. The car has been driven an average of 1205.18 miles per month since the first reporting. The carfax looks good. I would say talk him down some but I don't think this is for sale anymore.
