what should i a pay for this?

So i think I found one that i like and options and milage, its a 2001 with 36 k miles, asking 43,900 . The car fax history shows 5 owners, i will be seeing the car on monday, what do you guys think? barring any issues what is this car worth. I need help to determine what i should pay as the dealers around chicago area dont tend to negotiate.
thanks

i was looking at other pics on the dealers website with other yellow turbos, and they all seem to have that gap, but if you look closely it looks like some thing in the pics, it looks like black lines photo shopped, there are some ques on the roof as well if you look closely, but regardless i will find out when i see it,

Looks very good to me.... well optioned, no hacking / modding it seems. price is about right. Nice color combo... These yellow cars are getting more and more rare and in demand !! If the history does pan out and carfax , PPI and records are good and acceptable. You have a winner !!

My car is clean and I have the same headlight gap.
Most turbo I saw on the street have similar headlight gap as well.
It looks more pop on light color model, especially white and yellow.

If the car is check out clean, that price is still very good consider the mileage is very low

Respectfully, I disagree. The gap is carried through the entire bumper. I pulled the bumper on my 996TT may times in the past - never saw this amount of gap. You should not be able to see the inside tab.

^^^^^

That is true, now I can see it.
Didn't went into the link to check out other pictures

The gap does look abnormal to me.

Especially when you can see the tab...
Also, I think the plastic piece in between the headlight and the bumper is missing.
