no way dude, especially if it is not what you want. Look around, you may have to drive but the deals are out there. I got the gift of wheeling and dealing from my dad, but it is a buyers market and the economy is terrible, all the dealers were telling me how it is spring and they just really dont deal right now, cash helps alot also, especially if you dont have to use the dealer to finance. 08's are at 0% interest and there are alot out there still. If you finance 34,000 at 8% for 5 years, you are gonna pay more for that car than you would a 45,000 out the door 2008 at 0% interest

Kerbeck is in Atlantic City. How close are you to them. They are Forum Dealer, probably good deals to be had, even on used cars. Hmmm?

That's one other place, per Rick. Have you been looking at autotrader.com, cars.com, even that online auction place?

They want 39K but have you talked to them about what they will take? Drive on over there during the week, tell them you are from the Forum and see if they will deal.
