I bought my car, which was sticker priced at almost $16,000 for
$12,900 because it had some hail dings. Plus, I had $1,000 credit
from GM from having a GM credit card, so I drove a brand new Chevy
4 dr Aveo5 with power everything and cruise control off the lot for
$11,900.
I'm not particularly fond of the car, but it's practical, and I'm
right side up already on the loan. I plan on selling it when these
become available.
