Issues: Asking price is 17,000--a bit more than I had hoped to spend but not totally out of the question. My cost of shipping to my hometown is around $500 but my major concern is not being able to eyeball the vehicle (looking for rust &tc...) and not being able to take a test drive. Questions--wisdom of purchasing sight-unseen (and trusting dealer) as well as the issue of 17 grand for an '06. Thanks in advance for advice & feedback from the Forum.
I sell cars and here are the sales at the auction for an 06. If you did not know, 6 spds have a $500 deduct by the book which means they should be cheaper---call your bank. How low is low miles? Even at 10k miles, the price is $4000 over wholesale---it's high.
Oh---get the color that you want.
