Is it worth it buyiny this car?? HELP!?

The way the car has been maintained... maintenance records ! Any signs of previous body work... check tire wear to see if the frame is aligned properly if there were damage... new tires with previous body damage is not a good sign.
Mileage is important... should be no more than 12,000 miles per year multiplied by the car's age... no more than 60,000 if 5 years old... or 72,000 if 6 years old ! Get a Carfax report to see if there was any odometer tampering... you wouldn't want a car with 200,000 miles on it if it only said 50,000 ! Check the reputation of the establishment selling the vehicle with the BBB (Better Business Bureau)... if it's an individual, use an independent car inspection service to verify any mechanical problems ... Good luck purchasing ... and yes, the Kelly Blue Book pricing is very reasonable... just make sure you check the price with all options and proper mileage !
