Think I Got a Good Deal?

I did some LIGHT research, I just wanted to get one, didn't really care for what option packages are out there, nor did I want to wait for X months, so I found (and subsequently bought) an '04 with 12.8K miles on the clock for 21.4K.

IMO, it was an "all right" deal, not great, but not terrible... Thoughts, comments, opinions?

I don't think any really. Just the basic stuff, single CD, remote power door locks. None of the navigation stuff, or that automatic recognition jazz.

I'm really not sure what precise model/package comes with it, but it appears to be the base model? Regardless, assume base model...

Thanks!

Even so, any idea what the price should have been?

You can obtain fairly accurate quotes on www.kbb.com and www.edmunds.com .

Thanks, tried that... KBB says 23,145 Edmunds says 23,767, and NADA has no clue... lol

I'm hoping for something with more 'real world' expectations though.

Actually, my sales tax was pretty low given my trade in.

I'd rather isolate the cost to what the dealer is charging for the unit.

LOL, small world...!

I got mine at Danvers, just last night. Carfax says it came from an auction, I really wonder how much the dealer actually paid for it. Then again, maybe it was bought in "bulk" with 10 other cars, I have no idea what those dynamics are. Like I said, I feel like I got an "OK"/acceptable deal. I'm sure someone somewhere has done better, but I'm also sure the differential is low enough that it probably doesn't matter too much, i.e. I would NOT drive 500 miles to save $500 that sort of thing...

 

Well, thanks for the candor! LOL, I REALLY hope that 6yr/100K warranty DOESN'T have to come in handy!
