I came very close to buying a brand new, fully blinged out VW Golf R for about $65,000 about a year ago (pre-MMM epiphany). Thankfully, the dealer offered me the most insulting trade in price on my otherwise perfectly good four year old Ford Focus diesel - nearly $10K less than it's low band red book trade in price - and I stormed out of the place in disgust. Post-MMM epiphany, I thank that dealer for what he did from the bottom of my mustachian heart!
