    The last car I bought was $200 over dealer cost.

    How?

    I talked to my auto insurance agent and he gave me the name of a dealership along with the name of the fleet manager. I called and made an appointment. We sat down in his office and filled out all the paperwork. It took about an hour. He gave us the keys, and we left.

    Give your agent a call.

    Try Carmax.com If you have a retail outlet near you, they are the BEST place for a high quality used car, and they will give you a fair estimate on your trade it, and even buy your car from you if you do not buy one of theirs. I will never shop anywhere else!

    Anyway, my '01 Acura TL is still like new and I am going to put some money into maintenance items and keep it.

    My suggestion is to keep up the maintenance on this car as it's not even at half it's life! If you are serious about someday replacing it start banking the money you would be making on a car payment now and by the time ( a few years from now) you need to replace your Acura you'll have an advantage over the sales person if you can put down a hefty cash amount or better yet pay cash for your next car!
