Default Good or Bad for what's it worth info

Last week a Cadillac/Hummer dealer in Fort Wayne, In had advertised 05 SRT-6 Aero Blue, no nav for $20,987 with 8583 miles vin 046034 in Cars.com figuring he wanted to move it off his high priced lot or he didn't know its worth or was damaged and repaired I was going to fly up to Fort Wayne and check it out(fortuneately have buddy with plane who is happy to fly if you buy the gas) I was able to contact previous owner (thru friend here who
works for Chrysler) and found out car was in perfect condition and sold to dealer for $17,000 called dealer that day to get a feel for the "drive out" price maybe $20,000 knowing what he paid didn't get far it sold the day after his ad don't know for how much even at $20,987 plus tax and dealer prep it would have been $22,500 to $23,000 somebody got a good deal

Same story second verse same time on Ebay there was another SRT except SSB and 4150 miles, vin 053007,no nav asking $25,000 or best offer
Saturday my wife and I drove the 500 roundtrip miles to Tenn and are now the proud owner of said car for $24,000 even private owner no taxes etc
felt a little sorry for the single parent mother, daughter just starting college
but all she wanted was the payoff amount to her bank

Did I mention these are roadsters ?

I personally am satisfied with the price
and don't feel the market for these are going lower just unusal circumstances I wouldn't turn around and sale for this figure
