I'm with Tismael. 
This sounds like an excellent deal. Assuming the car is in as good of a 
shape as Chris is stating, it's worth twice the asking price.
Make sure the body is straight and true. Check for matching VIN stickers 
on all body panels and paint overspray. Most accident damage can be 
repaired properly, but if the shop took short cuts you may be looking at a 
future rust bucket.
