My jaw almost fell out of my head
Stopped at a little rinky-dink car dealer today to look at a decent looking SSE I saw the other day. Got to looking at it, body looks awesome, just needs a polish and wax. Interior was OK, leather was starting to show its age (1989 if I didn't mention it). So I go and ask the woman in the front about the car. Me: "What are y'all asking for the red Bonneville over there?" Woman: "Well, they just put a new transmission in it, so we're asking $4,995". :o They're crazy. 5G for a 1989 SSE? lmao

Shoooooooot! You should see how many people my dealership rips off in sales. If that place you went finances, they may get 5k from some poor credit slob.

5 large??
Offer them 2 and make sure they have the receipts for the tranny work which I'd assume would have some sort of warranty.

I would agree that some poor slob with a stinkin' credit history will talk them down a little bit and then pay 21% interest on the loan... <shakes head>....just to have a car to drive daily.
I see it all the time.

Yup, same here. We have the little rinky dink car dealer/repair garages, and you ask why the price is so much, and they say it had alot of work done to it, so then you ask for the invoices and the ALWAYS say "We did the work before putting it up for sale, so we don't have reciepts." It'* typical.
