I have been watching the market for a couple months now, and it seems that what the dealer is offering is not off at all. What Kevin bought his car for I would consider a great deal, which is definitely out there, and the 13k or 15k you are talking about seems about right for trade-in or outright sale as well. I am in Western NY, but have been watching most of the Northeast. Waiting for the perfect 9-5 to come along. They do not quite seem to hold their value as MB, BMW, and Audi, but for similar cars with similar features the others do cost more to begin with as well.
