Default Looking at buying a '96 F3....advice

I am looking at a '96 F3 with 13k miles on it. Owner is asking $3,500 but will take $3k. Still seems high to me. One mirror is broken due to a stand-still knock over in the garage.
Bike seems descent except for the price.

Looking for opinions.

Thanks!

Need to see pics.....was it well maintained? Make sure nothing else is broken besides the mirror (They are cheaper then plastic). If so $3000 sounds about right.

I live in TN. Just looked at your profile and see you are in Cali. A little far to work this deal, but if you were closer we would be talking!
Thanks for looking.
