make sure you check the trunk and under the spare tire to make sure of no rust. also see if the person will let you test drive it real hard like get it at least to 5000 rpm's for almost every gear. just to see how well it can handle high pressue in the engine. also if its an automatic those trans missions are nothing but problems and need to be replaced thats an automatic 2500 off the price. cause you will want to and need to replace that with a 5 speed. other than that i'd still say around 4-5g is a fair offer but 7500 is asking too much.

Also if possible weither its a targa or not get somone to spray alot of water on top of it (targa on if it is) and sit inside and see if you can see any leaks in the interier. I didn't do this and didn't think it was a problem but i didn't know that the person kept it in a garage all the time. And finally ask to lift the hood and pull the back spark plug wire and see if there is any oil around the plug itslef (flashlight needed.)
