Wow! That is a huge rip off. I bought mine for the same price the previous owner traded it in for. It's an 09 touring 7AT with 15k miles and I bought It certified used for $26k. You should be getting a lot more for yours. You could try selling it yourself it try CarMax.

I suggest using CarMax as the first stop. Their offers are good for 7 days or so many miles. Other dealers say they'll beat or match a CarMax appraisal. I'd take the appraisal with me, negotiate the deal for a set price at other dealers, and get the best deal possible. It'll take a lot of driving, but it can be done.

Not bad I guess but he wasn't really coming down on anything.

I owned an older GT about 10 years ago.

I know the new ones are very nice, but I haven't owned an American car since then... I just don't know what I'd do with it.

I had a 2003 GT that I sold in '06. You pretty much do the same thing with the car that you do with any other car... drive it.
