has nothing to do with cheap, i'm not buying it... only added in the 
last tidbit of info he didn't add in with all his other description.  as 
far as book value goes, it is what it is, and it is im****tant to 
consider given that if it were to be in an accident, sgi will reference 
that value, and if the end buyer needs to borrow money to buy it, their 
bank will look at that value as well.  you are absolutely right, it will 
sell for more than that, that is the price a dealer will pay for it, and 
dealers make profit on what they sell.  but if you think for a minute 
that a dealer doubles his money on the things he sells, you are dead
wrong.
i buy vehicles at auction all the time to make profit on them, it's what 
a dealer does, it does not mean that the motor is weak or body is rough. 
  5000-6000 vehicles are bought at dealer auctions ever week across 
canada, it's not that there are that many lemons out there, it's just 
how we do business.  now settle down and have a cookie
