I've had a bad experience with dealer trades, so I'd like to stay away. But it looks like my only option at this point! Always afraid I'll get some beaten up, ridden hard, over revved car.

Very true. But saving a bit here and then wouldn't hurt? ...am I being cheap?

Interesting. I'll try to reference your circumstance. May I ask from what dealer?

They did a trade with a dealership about 400 miles away and sent a low boy trailer to go pick it up. Took an extra week for them to get it all set up and taken care of, but I didn't pay a dime for it.

I don't know how VPP compares to the deal I got and if it would really put them out that much.
Not a dime huh? Can I also have the name of your purchased dealer? Very nice!

A Sport non nav is $30,300 from their program. Over 3K off MSRP.
You must be referring to the Base + Sport, yes?




Thanks all for the quick responses. I'll try to keep this updated. I may have more questions, so check back from time to time! VERY thankful!
