My friend who drove me to pickup the SUV.  2011 Elentra with 60k klms on
it. (It's like new) 3 years ago paid $4500 for it.  The dealer told me to
ask if he'd sell it for $7000 and he would put it on the lot at $9500.

Like I said... I know I over paid but I didn't overpay by much.  2 Years ago
in the first lockdown we got Andrea's 2012 accent for $4500 with around
130k.  I paid $4000 for my 2010 escape with 327k on it. lol

Do not buy anything right now.  My vehicle is used to commute to work and until
I know where that is I'm not sure how long that drive will be. :)  Other then
that unless it's trailer season I might drive 50 klms a month and that's just
to the grocery store and back.
