yeah thats a fair price, if it's a dealer price or private, more so a deal if private, as most people over value their cars when they try to sell them.

I can tell you that the lease returns often go for cheap. I've see a few mid range silverado pickup at auction sell for $7,100.00 with 70K on them or there abouts, and a few months back I saw a 2005 BMW X5 sell for $14,000.00 with 42K on it, and that was when we had the prestiege sale at my work back in march. it's usually the dealer cars that come in and sit for a while like hummers, cadilaics, ridgelines, and any utility/commercial van.

the best thing to do if dealing with a dealer is outright ask them how much did they pay for it at auction.
