Told them I would buy the car today of they brought it down to 27K & gave me something reasonable for my trade. They did & I was in & out of there in 2hrs. Traded a 2007 Scion TC w/115K miles which was also in a small accident, fender bender, not my fault but it does bring down the value of the car. When someone goes to buy, its gonna have a carfax. When we go out to get a used car you better believe Im gonna offer lower if its been in any type of accidnet. Thats just how it goes. KBB was 4.5K I asked for 3.5K they agreed. Just keep looking. Someone will work with you especially now cuz the 2015 are coming.
I totally understand it lowering the value because it was in an incident regardless of how little. Just looks bad upon first glance. However they still offered me a little less than what I wanted which is fine, I understand it just means I need to save a little more.

I could afford the car now, however im not gonna pay 100 more a month even if I can afford it. I'd like to keep my payments around hwere they are now. I don't work to pay off what i owe, I work to pay off what I owe and put a little on the side as a savings.

Anywho I figure with the 2015's coming out and the winter months approaching I should be able to get a good deal on a used one around october or so.. Thanks for your input guys
