That’s not even close to what we got. We ARE buying a used car off CL...that’s the point you and many others don’t get. The car we’re buying needs paint, the shocks are shot and the tires are almost bald. Yet we’re about to agree to the list price straight out the box.

Why? Because we’re scared they won’t sell us the car at all? Or better yet, if we turn down the first offer the price will go up?

Maybe we are that stupid...
