First of all, I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong forum. I'm new here, forgive me.

I'm interested in purchasing a VX and I've found one local. It is a black '99 Ironman edition in excellent condition. It has 64,3xx miles, new battery, practically new tires, and overall excellent condition. The engine compartment looked great, I couldn't find any tears in the interior, I didn't see any paint chips or scratches, and I couldn't find any rust on the frame. It seems like it is in fantastic shape.

It does not have the manual nor maintenance history. The gentleman said he bought it from a dealer who said it had one previous owner (and we all know all cars on dealer lots only had one previous owner).

The gentleman was asking $10,000. Edmunds.com tells me it's work $8200 and blue book value is $8500. He said he would take $9000.

So my question is, is this a good deal for this vehicle? Or is it a fair deal, or too expensive?

Also, an unrelated question: Is there more headroom in the 2000 or 2001 models? I'm 6' tall and while I had enough headroom, there wasn't a lot to spare. I'm wondering if a later model year might have slightly more headroom.

Thanks in advance for your help!
