Welcome! :)
I think you have a nice budget that could accommodate the shipping cost too, which I guess should be about $750.
If you really like that wonderful blue 6MT, go for it! It looks like a car that will not require that much money to put into it for the next year or two.
But at the same time, see if you can negotiate.
Some might suggest to keep the shipping cost out of the negotiation but as a buyer, that is money from your pocket. If seller does not have that many buyers lined up, the seller will surely be willing to consider the situation and might pitch in to offset. Does not hurt.
Go for it! :)

Since you are new to the group, no doubt you are going to be skeptical especially as the amount is significant. Browse around our site and then maybe you will see where I am coming from.
All the best!

I guess we are just not those kinds of people.
Besides, checking a car out, even if everything checks out, just means you can drive it back, and that is most of the fun in the process! :biggrin
Jconlin can tell you all about my blue ZHP and I am more then happy to bring it for a PPI :)

Plus, a lot of folks have build/maintenance threads for the vehicles that are up to date. And 99% of members on here will have no problems with a PPI and more pictures and video. I wouldn't worry about it, just make sure you get all you need. The toughest part is even after all that, being able to walk away if on arrival it all comes crashing down...the chance of which, is unlikely, but that is the risk. The drive home is the funnest part though!
