That was my first thought. I got a HUGE deal on my Ford Explorer a few years ago, way under the money because it had some minor cosmetic and frill-item issues, and it was still about $8000.
Do you have a trusted mechanic? It is always helpful to be able to get a pre-buying inspection from a mechanic you know to be honest (yes, they exist, even though they are rare in the wild) who has no connect with the dealer.
