Yup.  20V engine loves to rev, the music starts at 3500 and builds from there, redline is 7000.

If there is no glaring problem (see below) then that is a reasonable price for the condition you describe.

Good chance it just needs topping off.  Next step would be to clean the sensor.

>Should I look for anything else?

There is a checklist of common problems (and important maintenance) at http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Speedway/3229/

No problem.  I'm obviously biased, but these are great cars.
