Excuse me, I read that as 97K. My bad.

fair deals still suck, I sold my 95 with 100k on it for 3400. excellent condition. and thats 4 years older!



So you found a sucker, like I was when I bought my 'Tour. Doesn't mean anyone who sold it for less got ripped off.

There's a certain value in being able to quickly and easily get rid of your car, i.e. trading it in.

Could he have gotten more? Yeah; maybe up to $1000 more as a private seller. But, that's doubtful seeing that it needed work. And even if he had, that means he would have had to list it, show it, finance more on his new car, and hope he could sell his old one for more than the dealership was offering at the time of purchase.
