Which means you could easily sell the car for $35k to a private buyer. Price makes you puke because the dealer wants to make the big bucks.

Dock: Yes he can.

"02996: No he can't, the market won't bear that kind of price with those miles.

Dock: Yes he can.

"02996: No really, he can't, that's more than what similar cars are selling for.

Dock: Yes he can.

"02996: No, seriously, he can't because most people who will accept those kind of miles are really hunting for a bargain, so the price will be depressed.

Dock: YES HE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(No offense "02996ttx50 - just saving us all the pain of watching the intellectual argument that's sure to follow )

He who? You were talking about your car so I mean you can. If a dealer pays you $26k, he's gonna flip it for $35k, so if you cut him out you can sell it at that price yourself.
