Oh no it's the car I want for about a grand and a half more than it's worth.

I've been following these searches for a good month now. I know what a Mazda 2 is worth. They go Neo-Genki-Maxx in terms of features/price. So we have at this point in time:

An '08 Genki for $9.2k but that one does have 100,000km on the clock when everything else has under 50k so this is less of a benchmark. It'd be coming up for a major service that could easily add an extra grand on. So let's be generous and call it 10k.
'09 Neo for $9.1k
'09 Neo for $10.25k
That one lonely little '08 Genki on Carsguide for $10.2k
A frigging 2010 Maxx for $10.9k. Same model and two years younger for a full $1000 less.

And that's just what's there RIGHT NOW, not including the stuff I've seen come and go over the last month. Ignoring anything newer because that's unrealistic. But yeah. No way is an '08 worth $12k, even if it IS a gorgeous green.

I'm going to leave it for a week so as not to appear eager, then go for a test drive and see how willing the owner might be to drop some many dollars off the price. If not, then eh, another green Mazda 2 will come up. They're everywhere.

Then I'll have to prepare to sell the Shagna. It's getting a service tomorrow, so that's a start.
