why is 3500$ a dealbreaker? I don't get it... like the guy on CNN with an 83 Vandura in camo paint... saying that he's ready to write a check if they'd take it... I wouldn't take a check from anybody driving that... hell, I'd be ready to draw down.
If 3500$ is a dealbreaker, should you really be shopping for a new car in the first place?
