yeah i skipped the black one. I put another link up of a silver one that looks really clean though. I know dealerships would do that, but i will walk away empty handed no matter how far away it is

Working at a dealership myself I can agree, they will do anything to convince you to not leave the dealership without the desired vehicle, tbh, the reason those vehicles are traded into a dealership is because someone that knew their crap off the streets decided to avoid it, we get a lot of sti's in my dealership (nissan) and i work for used cars, nothing but trashed cars people abused them, wrecked them and they or we do minor body work to it. if its too bad we just whole sale or auction off.

Text me bro 973-474-8806. I'm not too far from there and probably go check her out for you tomorrow. I'll even do a test drive if they let me. I can send you my contact info so they don't think I'm just trying to go for a joyride.

Honestly, you should not even consider buying a car you have not seen/driven in person unless you use one of those car buying services that send someone out to inspect the car for you. They even measure the paint thickness on all panels to check if a panel has ever been repainted.

yeah that's what sucks about going through a dealership, I don't wanna get stuck with a ****ty *** one especially seeing how much dealerships up the price. I offered 24k for that silver one and they said no..i even thought 24k would be kind of high for that car. so the search continues.
these dealers think the cars are made of gold. when i found mine, it had an obvious repaint on the driver's front, a burned out clutch, and water spots on the driver side. they didn't even wash the thing after auction (still had the marking on the window even). the car is an 06 MR and had 115k on the odometer, i think. they wanted $21k!!!
unfortunately, they knew how bad i wanted the car (thanks to a friend with loose lips) and i couldn't talk then lower than $17k.
normally i would have moved on and found another, but it was really hard to find one in white. so i took it.
i really don't mind, though. it's perfect.
