i get 18,325 at NADA. added options of sunroof, alloy wheels and leather seats (i'm not actually a big fan of leather seats...when you live in a hot climate they can be dangerous...but then again, with the kids i guess they won't be soaking up juice and whatnot like our current cloth seats).
but i'm gonna go with Adam on this. Even if it's not the absolute lowest price, it seems fair (certainly not outrageously overpriced)...and if it'll save me from having to deal with "typical" car salespeople...yeah, that's definitely worth it :) i will be adding an extended warranty too. wouldn't buy a used car without one. we bought our current van used (it's a 1999 and bought it 2 years ago). paid $2k for an extended warranty and within the first year it had more than paid for itself (once the transmission went, we had more than justified the cost). the peace of mind is definitely worth it.
