I suspect the economy is to blame and it seems to be priced high. Ask yourself what it would sell at auction. Or check Edmunds or NADA to see what the dealer has in it. Value it at the “Good” rating. That’s what they SHOULD have it in. If they have more in it it is their own fault.
Remember this, car dealers are just “moving iron.” They have no emotional attachment to these cars. And I didn’t either when I drove them over many hundreds of miles. I never even looked at them except to get them to where they were to go and get the trade back to where it had to go. Then I took the temp plates off and went home. Never looked back.
That’s all any car is; just a piece of iron. All hype for the most part. Most cars with a few exceptions are pretty good these days. Pick out what appeals to you and pay your money and don’t get emotionally attached to it. It will wear off in about 30 minutes after you drive it off the lot anyway. I’ve owned about 65 cars in my lifetime. I forget that I have two new ones sitting in my garage. I don’t even wash them or change the oil. They go back to the dealer and let him fool with them. Frankly, they are a necessary evil in today’s America.
Thanks for the advice.....will go to Edmunds to get its true market valule (and use that amount as a benchmark).
