    23000 for an 010 #1 at the dealership and I would have to pay 18000 plus my 06 as a trade in which has structural damage from and accident. Good deal or not? They are including the floor mats plus wheel locks. FYi my car has 90000 miles on it. FishHawk

    that 23,000 seems high to me for a #1...I paid that for a #3 w/o Nav package. Wheel locks are a joke....does the 1 have alloy wheels or steel wheels with plastic covers.....if it's steel wheels...why do you need bothersome wheel locks.. I wouldn't jump at this offer right off.

    I would say that you are about $1000 to $1500 short of a deal even with the previous structural damage, especially if you had it taken care of by a reputable body shop. Your car would end up at auction and resold for probably anywhere from $9000 to $12,000 at some "your job is your income" type of outfit. You could very likely sell it for much better than $5000 yourself with service records. If it were me, I would go this route.
