It seemed that when i was just looking for a TBSS they were all over autotrader. When i got ready to buy one there were hardly any for sale. I ended up looking at the used inventory for all of the local big named dealerships. Found an 07 with 27k miles on it. Ended up being a better deal then what i had previously found on autotrader. Then a month after i bought mine i saw an 07 identical to mine with 50k miles for 18.5k on autotrader. That was a decent deal.

ya they are hard to find, ended up finding mine at Gay Buic/GMC in Dickinson. Amazing price, 2008 80k miles, they were asking $18,999 i walked out the door with a 3 year warranty for a total of $17,500...amazing what minor flaws in a car can bring value down! Look around though, there are definatley deals out there

I got a badass deal on it back in 2009 for $17k when it was worth $20-22k. I got it thru a local dealership that had just received it in trade a few days before. I talked them down $3k It was in excellent shape and hasn't given us problems. Right now they are selling for almost the same price as what we bought it for

My wife has been considering selling it lately. She's wanting an Audi car or suv. I think I'd do something like $13,000 since its got about 90k+ miles on it now.

The sticker price was around $40k new I believe.

Check out my Fquick page, I used to own one as well. Best time was a 12.2 in the 1/4 mi
