help with buying a 2007 Mazda 3

[jeffshaw]

Dear TM3 friends,

Hopefully this is the right place for this post (I just registered 20 minutes ago).
I am considering buying a Mazda 3, and found this 2007 Mazda 3 from a local dealer.
They provide me with the car proof at here.
The car seems to have a clean history (as of Sep 2011)

To summarize the basic info:
year: 2007
model: mazda3 (3i)
trim: 2.0 GX
km: 87,000 km (was 68,000 km on 02/01/2011)
price: $11,900
carproof: link

my questions:
* in the carproof report, it says:
Country of Origin: Japan
Is this expected for cars sold in Canada?
* price-wise:
www.edmunds.com gives a reference price of $9,422
Lemon-aid Used Cars and Trucks has a slightly higher price.
How much do you think can be taken down from the $11,900 offer?


thanks a lot in advance.
your help is much appreciated.
