When it comes to selling cars, often accident cars are the highest grossing sales...They buy low and sell high...Common tactics are "we'd LOVE to pay you the full blue book value of $20K but unfortunately it was in an accident and the best we can do is $15,000 but your payment only goes from $300/mo to $340/mo"...Then as the dealer tries to sell it, at full retail no less, "it was just lightly tapped and repaired by the best autobody shop in the region, if there are any problems they stand by their work, this car is <somehow> better than new! But for you, if you can buy today I'll sell it for $19,500, it's the deal of the century!"
IDK what to tell you man, if you want it show up with a cashier's check (that can be refunded if not cashed) for $13,000...Will be fees and taxes so out the door probably closer to $14000 so bring a blank personal check and/or a credit card...Personally I believe you may be able to find another one in Cali and pay $500 to have it shipped...
