Would appreciate everyone's thoughts.

That is what dealers do they, flip cars for a profit.
They see and buy cars on e-bay and crags list that every body else also saw. The difference is Dealers can look past the dirty windshield, small imperfections that can be fixed for minimal money and the poorly written ads, then they take care of these issues and write nice ads and have the car sitting next to three other cars for the consumer to chose from and then resell the car for a profit.
It works, many dealers are in business and make a living doing the work and taking the chances that the average consumer does not want to do.
64% increase in 4 months is not appreciation, it is dealer mark up.
