I am posting the sale price, not the trade-in price. Cannot understand
why you think the 'book value' price should also be there. Is that the
norm for your dealers?
Here is the price I found in the states. Do you think thats reasonable?
Or you think Saskatoon's dealers have far lower price than that?
Trims Dealer Retail
Sedan 4D EX (V6) $5,150
If dealers can make the vehicle prices low in Saskatoon, thats really
good news.
