Paid $12k in November 2004.
It was a little dinged when I bought it but thanks to cosmetic damage from construction site: varnish splatter ($3K) got mostly new paint.
Car previously had a new clutch, Tensioner and POP-Off upgrade.
Also came with SSI and Dual exhaust and Short Shift Kit.
It's required only regular maintenance and a new battery.
I have removed the A/C which was intact but not working.
Car has run great and though it was the first SC I drove I think I got a fair deal for the area...
