Decent Deal? Anything stick out that should cause me to not make the trek?

Here I was thinking $25k was a steal given that dealers are asking $35k-$50k for clean 340 cars.

I’m leaning toward still checking it out using the great advice I’ve gotten here but not being afraid to walk away if the car isn’t a winner.
You may " waste" time and gas to go look at this Duster. But, with all the information what people here, including myself have given you, you can look at this car with a better set of eyes. I even mentioned that you can call me when you're looking it over in case you aren't sure about something. That being said, if you do go and check it out, it's a learning experience to better help you evaluate the next car you look at. Wish you luck!
