preliminary negotiating is range 10300- 11K range. I do not want to waste anyone's time before I will make up my mind on this first. Current used car market situation tells me that it doesn't matter what car you want to buy , ford or mbz for that matter it is gonna be in 10K-15K price range for more or less decent vehicle. in my particular case it would be vw, audi , mbz , subaru , maybe volvo awd models. I live in north NJ , hilly place so awd is a really nessesary for us. I do not want to lease a car , I wanna stuck with it for at least 4-5 years.
