i will take a yellow and a white 
and make sure they both have less then 75k miles on em and are mint.But seriously most people buying cars are not privy to auction pricing they buy at retail so posting up your post is useless in its context.
Ask your buddies if they will retail cars for the auction price they paid for em? Im willing to bet you will get a big
from em.

lol, thanks for all the info....
as I said before, I DID have a carfax done, the dealer didn't try to hide the fact that there's an accident reported. The only thing that was replaced (according to body shop) was the front bumper. The fenders look like they've never been taken off, but they were sprayed over. The hood is original. Honestly, I'm not looking for a "showroom quality" car here, I know that's not a reality when I'm looking at this year vehicle. I'm just looking for something that's not going to fall apart on me. When a car is 8 years old, chances are it's going to be in less than mint condition.
I've been on autotrader, cars.com, craigslist, etc....I know what they're going for in this area. Like I said before, if he doesn't meet my price (which is probably NOT b/c it's not even close to 13K) I'm NOT BUYING THE CAR
So bring on the offers, who's got a car for sale? hehe....
