Re: [DML] 18k or 14k



I'd go for less mileage and good condition every time..could you get the
cheaper car up to the standard of the better one for the $4K difference?
..but whether you could get a better deal, buying from someone off the
list.......might be worth a try as you are a serious potential buyer.
