There is always someone who says that they got a better deal. As long as you are happy it really doesn't matter what they say.

Doesn't sound like a terrible deal to me. Congrats on your new to you car!

Plus, it's also from a dealership. They add an extra 2-3k just because they can. They also do maintenance like fresh fluids, new spark plugs, whatever. I got my car at a dealership and you can tell they changed a lot of my fluids. When I was draining my diff/tc/trans, the fluids were fresh. They put on new tires too. Sometimes, the extra 2-3k can mean a lot.

Yeh man. Im actually glad you metioned this as i forgot to mention, The dealer replaced 2 of the tires, installed a new kenwood cd player radio, and told me to come back for a synthetic oil change. He was a really cool guy. My wife like d a low mileage beemer he has on his lot and we're actually thinking about going back to pick it up.

Also you dont know what repairs (if any) a dealer made whether mechanical or cosmetic to make it a retail piece... Every dollar counts.

Congrats on the new purchase. I think for a dealer car you made a decent purchase. Yes there are some cheaper out there, and yes a there are private sales that can be had for 10-12k but not everyone can do that. Good luck and I bet you will love the car more and more as time goes on.
