its only a great deal if you dont have to drop 5000 to 6000$ in repairs. there are many respected members on here that have dealt with most of the dealerships and i would value their opinion. also realize that just because its at a dealership that doesnt mean it wont have problems or mechanical issues. there are many places that only concerned with making a profit without any concern for the customer. a private sale is many times a safer buy than a dealer.
i have a suggestion..... take a break. continue to search but sit back and search for what you really want not what appears to be a good buy. when the right car comes along it will feel right all, the negotiations will flow without issue and you will get that warm fuzzy that says this is the car you have been searching for. just my .02
