No. 12k a year isn't bad at all in CA. In Idaho, it might be considered
high.

We just bought a private party '99 Civic EX coupe, 62k miles, for $7500.
Now, mind you, we've put about $1,000. into maintenance, new windshield,
and are about to add another $3-400. for replacement of a wrong fender
and light. Oh, and a new back seat bottom that actually locks into place
will be added for around $120.. The car also came with 17" wheels with
new tires and an upgraded JVC deck with amp in the trunk.

Not $13k like they want. I'd offer them $10K, watch them reject it, go
back the end of the month, and if the car is still there, they might
take your offer. If you really like and want the car, it's the right
color and features, offer up $11k.

The used car market has been flooded in recent years because so many
companies are offering 0% financing. Also, many leased cars are being
recycled into the pot. You should definitely be able to talk that
original price down. Good luck. The car you're looking at is a true
classic, IMO. It has timeless looks and is a blast to drive.
