That car prob. went for around 16K NEW if even that.

I posted a Z28 as well, same spread...

That V6 car's invoice price is above $18K (about $18,700), so it sure as heck didn't cost $16K. :)

Yeesh, new (to you) car every two years?[/quote]

Yep, every 18 months to a year I like something new... I could never afford to do this if I bought new, so I buy 2 year old trucks and trade them in when they are 3 to 4 years old...

LOL, that's cause you can sell them for more than sticker price, at least around here.

If you take into account the cask back money, then talk the dealer down, yea that car did not cost more than 16K. And then take into account the 0.0Apr VS a used cars 5.9- to how ever high they can get it.
