I have a special hatred for dealers.. I once listed my Colorado for sale for far cheaper than what the dealer ended up selling it for but did I get a sale? Nope, all I got was one dude who drove it, and drove it poorly at that. Traded it in and then several days later I saw it's ad and within two weeks it was gone. After working at several used car stealerships I'll never buy a car from one and I don't know what it is but people seem to like buying cars off dealers. Perhaps its because most offer financing or some BS guarantee (Think Chris Farley from Tommy Boy..) but their ad was pretty simple. Forgot what much of it said but remember seeing this, "Like New. One owner, low miles. Locally & sensibly owned."

Oh yeah, I share your hatred. My dad just got ripped off at a stealership a few days ago. Paid 4250 for a truck that was worth about 3000 in best condition, which it was not. Some dealers make people feel confident, like they're in the hands of a professional lol. And a lot of people go to dealers just out of desperation, because financing or paying with credit is the only way they can get a vehicle. I prefer private sales with cash in hand, as long as I can scrape the money together.

been a while, not surprised to see this here. sold to a good friend, just helped him with an oil change on it. said he'd give me the all terrains back in a couple of weeks when he saves up the scratch to buy some 25$ specials.
was a good car. just drove it to minneapolis and back a couple of weeks ago and had 0 issues. more than fair for a few hundred bucks. lots of miles left on it. oh, and the heater core isn't totally shot, keeps the windshield defrosted well enough, just works enough to keep the edge off those cold days if you have ~ 20min commute . . . I mean, i drove it all winter, even in january for a week when the drivers window stuck down for some reason. had to drive it from the middle seat like someone who had gone postal.
