The inspection is about as good as you can hope for, and you are right about it being local. You can afford to pay a bit more because you don't have to haul it or drive it home. I think it is a 3- or 4+ car and I would go in with a $4k offer and not feel too badly about settling at $5K or maybe a little more.

Good luck and keep us posted.
