$14,400, 100K miles. A few other trim pieces were missing - ashtray doors, cargo net anchor covers - but nothing serious. Funny, though, the power recline rear seats only worked from the cargo switched, not the c-pillar switches next to the seat.
It would probably need to be in the $12K range for me to be interested.

IMHO the price is too high for the mileage and all of the nitnoid problems it seems to have. You said it has nothing serious, you'll be amazed at how quickly and often stuff pops up on these things. Just spend some time and read some threads here on the site. If you're buying this for your wife I wouldn't get her an almost 15 year old car that's sure to have problems down the road, you'll be hating life, remember, happy wife happy life!
