err... what?

ah...wtf? did i say i wanted to profit? no. I would sell it for 500 over...but at this point i was willing to sell it for exactly the same. I don't appreciate people who don't know me, making character judgments about me.

There is a Used car dealer in Chesterfield, VA that has a Blue Passion on his lot. I parked my Smart in the parking lot next door, then went to the sales office and asked what he was asking for the Smart. He said $24,900, it has 500 miles on it. I mentioned I was driving a Smart, he asked what I paid, I told him $14,800 (same car just different color), he asked where I bought it, I told him I ordered it May 07 on the Smart Website.

I wished him luck and went on my way.

I applaud what appears as an altruistic and well intentioned effort on your part. Can you share, have you been successful?
