Doesn't the buyer AND seller have to pay some rediculous amount like 10% of that to BJ?
That means the seller only gets $9k. Still rediculous, but most people who bid on cars there have money to burn...

Summary: 779 original miles. All original car. Rare factory V6 5-speed car. Red over grey, this car is like brand new.
Well, damn that explains why they got $10k for it. It was the rare 'Factory V6' with the even rarer 5 speed option. That is rare, they only made what 50 thousand or so I'd guess...

Well if you think about it where else are you going to get a new car for 10K?

But also all the rubber parts are still 13 years old, so I dont know.

Id say he may have paid to much but for between 7 and 8K I think it would have been a good deal
