I would tell him $11,000 and give him you number. Two weeks from now, with it still on the lot stop by and offer $12,000. If they don't jump at it then they have too much into the car.
According to my used car saleman friend '04's are wholesaleing for $6K to $9K. Thats $9,000 to to $13,500 in a good market.
