Well any updates? If he has been trying to sell it since spring I guarantee he will take a lower cash offer. Even if you offer a couple hundred less, chances are he just wants it gone by now. He may say "firm" but you should act like you dont really want it, point out any problems or concerns, and then finally give him your offer. Work with him a little if he isnt budging on the asking price. If that fails, seems like a good deal for the asking price so I would get it. Thats about the price around here for 03+ stock blasters.
