Re: I think I did all right.
And I got my '04 Limited w/2-tone reddish-orange (or whatever it is) and black leather, black exterior, WITHOUT NAV, (I told them they could keep the nav and I'd keep the cup holder, with 5,500 miles, for 15K, +tax and etc., so I think that's a better deal than some of those I've read about here..
REGARDLESS,
I'd love both of my vehicles just as much even if I'd paid 10K for them, (or 30K), it doesn't really matter.
For the years involved and the mileage on the clock, I'd say both vehicles were easily worth 15K apiece.
There are some super deals out there of course, and I hope a couple of knock-out examples come my way some time, but, even with car prices down right now, who the hell wants to buy a Kia or Hyundai or Toyota crackerbox which, ordinarily, are about the only cars out there you can get between 10 and 15k. If there are more, so what? None of them look like or drive like the XF, and that, in a nutshell, is what every one of us is on this forum for. The XF is beautiful and there are damned few vehicles out there, at any price, that can hold a candle to it.
Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. Jimmyjet
