I ended up buying it for $11k, pre sales tax days!!! What a score. I would have easily paid 13k @ the time. Now I'd be lucky to get the same card for $20k.

Don't take it personally, put your offer in and if you don't like the response move on.

And then sometimes when they accept my first offer I feel like I could have gotten it cheaper. Not a long time ago I got this one only to find out the seller is on our forum and I could have done it privately. I paid tax and all and it was 5412, about 9 mos,. ago. I thought I paid way too much even though the guy had a much higher asking price...It would be hard to find at that price today...
