He mentioned that the trade value was $17k. That can't be right. The dealer would actually be paying to get rid of the car. Unless they made tons of money on the front end if his new deal. Anyways ... This seems like a good deal to me.

agreed.

I would ask about the CVT fluid as well...when was that changed, and where?

I say buy it....that is a lot of miles for 2 years. As long as the PM's have been done you should be good to go! Sometimes those are the best cars to buy.

Good point.

The CVT should definitely have been serviced. See if you can get the dealer to do it before you take possession. While you're at it ... make 'em do the 90k service. That's a big one and could run up to $1000.

Here's one that didn't. Bought an S. Love the S. Don't miss the extra crap, my Garmin and iPod are better than what comes with the car.

I am ready to make a deal tomorrow on the loaded 2009 SV. The bells and whistles are too attractive to walk away from. I am going to call the dealer of the 2011 S and let him know about it and give him a chance to make me an offer I can't refuse. Wish me luck.

The noises don't concern you ? Can you extend the factory warranty ? If not you be driving 2 hours R/T and spending the day that the dealer for any warranty service
