I'd use the KBB or Edmunds calculators to see what the true difference in value is- you can't just guess.

Most stores use a third party to print out the side stickers on the used cars they sell. They send people around who input the VIN number which tells them what it is. Then they look the car over and add the options to the sticker.It is NOT uncommon for them to make mistakes! I once sold a used Ford Ranger thatsaid it had cruise control when it didn't. The customer caught it but I got lucky when he told me he never used cruise control and didn't care.
After that, we were very vigilant.
There is probably a disclaimer somehere that realease them from damage if there are errors.
This shouldn't have happened but as a buyer, you really should have checked.

I just sent Ryan Sauers a few items to be address with a used 08 vehicle I just bought off lease for $29,600 and 33,000 miles that should be almost as good as new. I hope the items I've asked to be resolved are taken care of in a way that everyone is happy and online reviews can reflect the excellent service I'm about to receive. Thanks.- kirstie_h (Jul 26, 2011 1:15 pm)
