You'd use premium gas to set a car on fire? Or did you not read the (obviously joking) post?

3 Dollars for Gas in Ottawa doesn't make sense...unless i'm guessing you mean to get about 2 liters of gas to do it...which would make the joke make sense!

Yes, two litres of gas is what would be required for a nice C350 bonfire. Hence, $1.31 per litre in Ottawa times two gives me a round number of $3.00.....guys it was joke, didnt know my mathematical capabilities would be tested here.

Sorry to hear about the low trade in value, but just try to picture yourself purchasing your car as a pre-owned. I know it seems like the dealership is "stealing" your car, but you have to realize they might be able to sell that car for around $36k, but that's if the next buyer does not negotiate any on the price. Good luck with your decision and I hope you find yourself in a C63 soon.

They may be asking for $39k, but doesn't mean anyone will pay for it. Did you consider throwing yours on eBay to see if there are any takers? You can set the reserve as your lowest acceptable price and then you really have no risk. Sold my BMW 3 weeks ago and got a ton of traffic on eBay.
