Guys mellow out. There are very low mile C32's here in so-cal and the dealerships were asking a 38.9k for them (2004's with 3k miles???) So when you think no one pays asking price and used cars are always discounted at least 10% that puts this guys claim in the ball park.
Maybe he stretched reality a bit but ive seen these things go for next to nothing. If a dealership has had the car in its flooring line since 2004 he has paid out at least 4k in interest charges over the last 2-3 years. Something tells me if they wanted the car gone they would sell it in the low 30's. Its not like used C32's are flying off the lots of all local dealerships.
Also realize that they had 2 options to off-load the car. 1 is to sell it cheap to the public and the other is to send it to auction and sell it cheaply there. It's easier to just off-load it to the public and make some random person really lucky.
I know a fellow boad member who paid 41k for a new 2004 C32 in mid 2005. This guy bought his car how much later?

You got a great deal. But in the end these steals are out there and all you have to do is be lucky enough to find it!

Its gone now but u know it went for someplace around 36k.
It was black black and i THINK it had nav but I dont really recall. Never sat it the car. Just looked at it and said oh not a bad deal.
