It pays to research the price of anything. Buying on impulse can cost you money. I had a 2002 Dodge diesel that I traded for an 04 Dodge. The 02 had a kill switch and I left a note for the new owner to call me for location. He asked how much I got for trade in for the truck. Wasn't sure because we only discussed the trade difference. However I told him how much I paid for the 2002 as a loss leader. You could almost hear his jaw drop on the the phone. He probably paid more for the used than I paid for the new.
