Had to laugh...
So I was driving through a neighboring town yesterday and saw a 06 SS/SC sitting on a lot. A lot of people I know talk to me about my car so I thought I'd check out the price in case anyone decided to seriously look for an SS. Anyway I pull up and check it out. 91k miles and they are asking $16,999. I had to laugh out loud. I was tempted to go in and explain how I bought my car (an 09 TC) in April with 4k miles for $16,250 but was too shocked to bother. Just thought I'd share with people who would understand.

Baraboo at Easton motors. They're all about selling to people with bad credit - and bad ability to research car prices apparently.

^ you pay through the nose at those places, cause they are the only ones who would ever think of selling you a car. that car will be payed for halfway through the payments.

I live in Reedsburg. Not many SS's in this area from what I've seen. Heh, in fact I own 2/3 of the ones I know of in town.

and thats why i always have the preconception that car salesmen have no soul (except for a few)

especially after seeing the ones i used to work with at a dealership when i detailed cars, oh the horror stories

Absolutely ridiculous.
I bought my SS/SC from a private seller for $6k, in MI.
Seller was having a baby though and needed a bigger car.
