Sorry did pay enough attention to the subject.
Depending on how extensive the service records are and how thorough the TB maint was. (Was the water pump done etc.) Also how do the tires look, I'd say 13,500 is a nice deal if you could get him to take that.
Check it out thoroughly and drive it.
If it is everything you describe, then you should buy it.
14k is a fine deal; 12k would be even better.
I think a 99 with 100k miles is the sweet spot.
You could spend a lot more and get a 2003 with a 5 speed transmission and an obsolete non-replaceable navigation system.
Or you could save a few dollars and get a higher mileage rig that will cost you more in maintenance in the long-run.
If it is in good shape (no accidents, no rust, drives straight, no rips in the leather) then $14k is not a bad price.

I think I paid $12k for a 98 with 109k on it a year ago, so it sounds about commensurate for the year and miles to pay around $12-$13.5k or so if it's clean and you like it.
If it's been in TN all its life and is rust free it's probably worth $14k. Although at that price gets you awfully close to an 03 with ~150k miles...
I wouldn't be afraid to pay $13 and some change for it.

You have a different opinion?
yeah, apparently in the minority... I don't mind high miles on cruisers, that's their strongest selling point - they go forever- so why pay a premium for something you don't need (as compared to other cars)? I just picked up an '04 with 150K for $13.2. In a short time, that '99 you're looking at will have 150K+ miles on it. It will never have a 5 speed, ATRAC, telescoping steering, Bluetooth or rearview (unless you pay more), etc., etc. It's a truck, not an investment. Buy what you'll enjoy driving every day. I guess if low miles bring a smile to your face every day, then go for it.
owning both a 2000 and the '04, I much prefer the newer cruiser's features, and would choose them over low miles, price and general condition being comparable...
That is a really good price on your '04. A quick autotrader search lists only 6 100s in the entire country are '03 or newer and less than $15k.
This one looks like a pretty good deal: '03 - 123k - $15,000
The particular vehicle the OP is asking about seems to be darn-near perfect. Newer tires, excellent condition, rust-free, recent TB/WP service, and only 100k.
You should be able to find a 98-02 with higher miles for closer to $10k, so I guess the question is how much of a premium are you willing to pay for the "extras" this one has.

For reference, my 98 with 138k last June cost me $9.3k, everything in near perfect condition save for tires. All PM done on time with records since 2000 when it moved to Cali from Georgia. No rust. I don't think I could justify another 5k just for 38k less miles... I'm with re_guderian on this one... if that's a price you don't mind paying go grab a newer one so the wife has more modern features. I personally wanted the bare bones and elocker.

I couldn't agree with Rob more on this. Seems very high priced but that is definitely in the eyes of the...purchaser. Either way good luck and you'll love having a 100 series Cruiser.
