How Much Should I Pay: 2008 Hyundai Sonata

Question: 08 Hyundai Sonata
6500 miles Demo
GLS basic 4 cyclinder with auto
Dealer is asking for $13,700 and that includes the $3000 rebate.
Queen of the Road: Hi there! Welcome to our blog! $13,700? Not bad. Here’s our numbers..
For a 2008 Hyundai Sonata 4C GLS with 6,500 miles, prices range from $14,050 (being in above average condition) to $13,000 (being in average condition) and $11,900 (being in below average condition). A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $13,300 to $15,600. Even though the offer is good, see just how far you can get the price to lower. It doesn’t hurt to try. Let us know how everything goes!

I posted the previous thread on Sonata and found another seller of the same car.
Need some advice on the Hyundai. I carfaxed with the vin # the owner provided and this is what it shows. This was a rental car and then sold to a private owner who is trying to make some money. It has 12,000 miles and brought him down to $11,750. btw does this car have a lien on it because if you scroll down it says lien or load reported. Should I be cautious on this car and any advice on anything. Thanks and also should I bargain him more.
