What's a decent price?

Hello everyone. I am currently looking to become a first time Maxima owner and I have stumbled across an ad in the local classifieds that caught my eye. Here is what it says:

1991 Nissan Maxima SE Pearl white with tan leather int. 183,000 miles
1 year old 18 inch rims
Kumho 225/40ZR18 tires
Factory 15 inch rims/tires included (painted flip flop)
Cold air intake
Custom welded 2.5 inch cat-back exhaust with polished muffler
Strut tower brace
Interior is 9 out of 10
Matched carbon fiber shift ****, E-brake and dash trim
Reverse glow gauges/controller
Cobra eyes work with turn signal
Clear corner markers with chrome Xenon bulbs
White headlight bulbs
Power windows and locks
AC blows cold
Recent rebuilt tranny
New starter
New DieHard gold battery
New fuel filter, PCV, platinum plugs
Brand new brake pads
K&N filter
New plug wires cap and rotor ignition coil
No rust or body rot
Never been in accident
Timing chain done 30k ago
Tinted windows
Stereo system with Clarion dble CD/cass/EQ, amp, elec crossover, Pioneer door speakers, Kenwood 6x9's rear, 4 AWG power cable
Gold battery terminals
Circuit breaker
Monster cable and balanced RCA

He is asking $3400/bo with both sets of rims or $2800/bo without the 18's. Now, he ran the ad for two weeks and MAY be desperate to sell. How much do you guys think would be a good price with the rims and without them? I will find out what brand they are when he replys to my last email.

Thanks

I personally think thats high for a VG, especially at those miles but you can always try to low-ball him and see where it goes.

Asking way too much with those miles IMO.

Yeah, that's basically what I thought. I will offer 2500 and tell him the price can go down if the test drive is aweful. Oh, I just found out what kind of rims are on it: Ryver g6's. I
like the way they look with the car; I'm just glad they arent chrome rims.

I will probably do an engine swap either right away, or wait until the current engine starts dying (if it isnt already).
