Hi there thanks for replying ..Canadian VMR site which is kinda like the U.S KBB projects the vehicle price for 31950 but atimes VMR's estimated prices can be a tad inflated ...

It's pretty much a loaded car, at least by my observation. Low $30k mark is a pretty reasonable number, but I would be concerned about owning such a car out of the warranty period, especially with that much equipment.

My recommendation: Get them to throw in the MANUFACTURER's extended warranty for the same price and you've got a deal. It is imperative that it is a manufacturers bumper to bumper warranty because I have seen WAYYY too many people get screwed over by third party warranty companies that won't cover a full job. For instance, you need a new seat track, they will cover the price of the seat track, $13, but the only way to get it is in a package with the airbag equipment for $1,400 in a complete assembly, you get stuck paying $1,387. This is just one of countless horror stories.

Don't feel like you have to take the deal. You can always get up and walk away. If you don't feel like you are getting a good deal just walk away. I know it hurts at first but it will be better for you in the long run. Good Luck.
