Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse

If you have 80% not to do it in your mind, DON'T DO it. But in case that 20% gets the best of you, here is an option for you.

Your cost to AL can be easily over $2000 factoring in the gas, veh. dep., hotel and personal VOT.  Buying from this lady, $1955.6 with potential negotiation saving.

You already know the answer.  That little voice inside is saying don’t do it.  Trust your instincts.  Don’t do it.  I’ve been in the same situation too many times and Always regret when I don’t trust my instincts.  Sometimes I’ll ask my wife who will tell me not to do it and it’s reassuring to have validation.  Suggest you don’t do it.  Move on to something else.  

bless your heart

Clever! Seriously, if I offended you my apologies.

Although you’re still getting coal in your stocking for calling me a bad word.

@jmkrajnik, your a good soul.
