Sounds like a nice ride. Hold out for the better money. Try another
dealer, although they all wanna screw ya on trades.

My dad-in-law is trying to buy a new Dak....has a Caravan with higher miles
and in NICE shape.

They wanna give him.....(get this!)....$200.00

We just walked out.

That sucks.....talk about government screwing up things!~!

I have not heard about going with a dealer to an auction. I would suggest
(if you like this route) going on my own and finding an auction for sports
car enthusiasts. I have heard of them, although not sure where.

You can set a minimum bid at any auction, tho you may have to pay a fee for
having your vehicle on the block, even if its not sold.
