Default need some help...

well my buddy found a car today but i wanted some input from yall to see what yall think...

1998 Trans Am
6 speed
70,200 miles
silver w/ black leather interior
ceramic coated long tubes
stainless steel y-pipe
electric cut out
magnaflow cat back
slp intake
dyno tuned (exhaust work and tune done by lethal)
custom 1200w stereo system w/ 7" flip out screen

we went to look at it and we couldnt find anything wrong with it. the body is in perfect shape. the interior is nice. no cracks in the seats. it ran good. it shifted smooth. we really surprised how nice it was for a 98. hes is asking 13,500. what do yall think about the price? a couple of friends said the price was high. what should i offer?

That wasn't a good price even 5 years ago. I paid $10k for a '99 with 40k miles and that was the norm back then. This was in 2004
