Not to be too insensitive here (but rather, to be just insensitive
enough...), but $9500 for a car worth maybe $6500 would rank it in the top
half of "Good Deals on Cars" in my personal history.
You want to talk about getting screwed on/wasting money on a car? Buy me an
adult beverage sometime and I'll tell you about a thing called a Jensen
Interceptor... I paid WAY, WAY MORE than you for my tuition to the School of
Hard Knocks, and not just once...
