[QUOTE="Upgrayedd, post: 6472169, member: 616248"] You can get great deals at dealerships. It is about the right timing and you not being afraid of walking away. IMO mileage is not a concern IF it is unusually high. Corporate lease vehicles tend to rack up highway miles, which is equil to a lot lower city/highway. Deals can be had on a late model high mileage vehicle. Last winter I bought my Wife's 05 escape for 2k under trade in value due to timing, situation, and me sticking to my price after an hour of negotiation. I went up $50. I wad walked away from about 8 dealerships and a few private individuals to get to where I was and I am still just as pleased with the purchase as I was then. The mileage was high but I could tell by the lack of wear on the drivers seat,floor, and pedals and by simple math that it was highway. Research, low ball, stick to a price, and walk away. That is what my father in law told me and it has worked well a the few times I have bought newer vehicles. [/QUOTE]
