You're right, Kurt. I've met the young man, and he seems to have his head on straight. He isn't as "experienced" as many on this board, and I find it refreshing that he doesn't hesitate to ask questions and guidance. We should applaud that and understand that he's a teenager, and may not have the same tastes, and maybe shouldn't. Matt, my advice is that it really doesn't matter what you pay for a car. It's not a true test of the value. If you pay double what anyone else pays, and you enjoy the car every day that you drive it, then it was a steal. I think the more illuminating questions for you involve issues that others might have had with a similar car. Who really cares if smeone else can buy one for half the price? But if there's a big issue with the particular model that you don't know about, it could help you decide. Whatever you do, it's YOUR money, your decision, and the experience will always help you grow.
