Keep in mind that 13,000 miles on a 13 year old car isn't necessarily a good thing. All kinds of things go wrong with a car that sits for a long period of time and deteriorates. I'd want to see service receipts. I, for instance, keep the receipt for every oil filter I buy.
How often has the brake fluid been changed? Are there state inspection receipts showing how much mileage was put on the car each year? One that's been driven periodically is going to be in better shape than a car that's had an oil change every 4 years. Stale gas can gum up the fuel system.
The paint and the interior may look primo, but having to buy new calipers and having an engine go kablooey can take the showroom smile off a new owner's face.

DONT BUY DONT BUY POST ALL OVER FORUM
If engine is "ok" offer them much less because it will cost you to get it in the shape that they claimed. What makes you think it has more than 13K miles? I would offer them 10K-12K, use the rest of the 20K money to fix all the issues and you'll have a really nice car.
I did not say the car was a repaint
i said there were panels that were painted and done very poor, the guy claimed a ferrari delaership did it but they would not have over spray all over, the guy claimed his horse cause damage on the hood i asked the wife she does not know anything about it, , the car was in real poor shape, I would never pay 22k for that car, i just lost 1k in all this mess, the front bumper paint does not even match the rest of the car. the interior had panels broken and scratches all over, i dont even think the odo is real on the car, cause the undercarriage looks way too beat up!! I seriously am warning all dont buy the car, if you dont believe me fly over here to where i am stranded right now springfield MO and check it out yourself!! HUSBAND WIFE COMBINATION SCAM!!! the husband tells me that he bought the car from a old couple in a estate sale, the wife tells me he bought it over the internet!! story dont line up!!! the wires have corrision engine bay was horrible condtion also a exhuast leak, rx7 are real quite this thing sounded like a v8 LOL

RX-7s are not real quiet...at least mine isn't
Sorry for your mistake, but maybe you should have had the guy send you some pics and or done a CARFAX before you dropped a G on your trip to Springfield.

i ran car fax it was fine, its not that, the
car does not look like what the odo shows, he will never get 22k for it, someone would be really stupid to pay 22k for a car that says 13k but looks like 100k , im so upset, and also the dealer was a dumbass tooo,
