Even tho i paid 2400 for mine in better condition from a dealer. 3k is steep bearing in mind they've got a 08 pointy with 2,200m for £3,700.
Which is truly immaculate and got on most of the extras that everyone wants

My K4 was £2500 with 10k miles on it and had tail tidy, alarm and hugger included too.

Only problem so far has been constant annoying problems with the (very) dodgy electrics, so even a blinding looker could have some hidden problems, but that would apply to any bike or car really I guess

You say you like curvys. You say you want a well maintained bike. Dizzy's may be the perfect specimen for you. Look at this:

Curvies except the late 1's were carbs and the pointies are generally more refined. best to look at this!!
At your budget ur looking about a 2000 to 01 curvy naked

ALL curvy frame ones are carbed, EFI was never fitted until the new frames were used.

Dizzys is decent bike, needs a rider who will open throttle
