That looks like a good deal. I paid more for my 07 a couple months ago but the price difference has to a lot with the color of the car, not just the options.

Seems like they had the dreaded brake squeal that plagues our GS. Mine has that too and I am about to replace the front brakes and rotors with aftermarket parts ($150). It "should" fix the problem. There are a ton of threads on the dreaded brake squeal on the 3GS

Tough to tell with brakes. Some people are very hard on them. Those who always stop on a dime are brake killers. I don't see any rotor issues. That would be a concern of mine when looking at the brakes. Looks like they had some tire issues as well. That could be anything though. All in all, at least it looks as though it was maintained and kept clean.

You may be getting a decent car at a very good price. Good luck.
