All I can say is that I wouldn't let $1-2K stand in the way of this car if you want it - you may regret it. These cars are obviously not common and as time goes by the low-milage garage queens will disappear and/or be snapped up by specialty dealers (e.g. EAG) and sold at a premium. While you are haggling, someone may just come in a buy it out from underneath you. Now, if this is not the car you really want or you don't care that much about the low milage, that may not matter. The seller likely knows what he has and knows someone will buy it, so it may depend on how quickly the seller wants to unload it.

I'd shoot for $35K and (personally) pay up to $36.5K for this car. As as point of reference, I bought my 2007 with 9K miles last fall for $35K with a few months of factory warranty left. Seller wanted $37.5...I could tell that $35K was his break point, and this WAS the car I wanted, the right color, the right milage, the right condition. I put another few thousand to make the car truly like new and have never looked back.
