Personally I think $32,000 is reasonable for the high trim. Saying that I also plan on securing a full time job before I purchase one tho...I'm just finishing up College fyi.
32K would be to high for me even in high trim. For that price I can buy a new Mustang GT with the track package and have enough money left over to buy some stuff from Ford Racing.
