Does this sound like a good deal?

I've been looking at a 09 Nitro RT that I found in the area. After a couple of emails, here's the deal -

The internet price I got was $22,595 and they're giving me $22,500 for my 07 Tacoma double cab so $95 there plus tax, etc is $705.00 OTD.

But a couple of things that I've found out is that the dealer owner has been driving it and it now has 1,440 miles on it. Also got the carfax and it's been in Auto Auction which is usually a Red flag to me so I asked and here's what the Internet mgr emailed me - "We actually purchased 15 vehicles at the same time (this being one of them) from auction. They were brand new vehicles that were going to a dealer in Puerto Rico and the dealer went out of business. We are the only owners and because we purchased them they became "used". "

So, still sound like a good deal?
Thanks in Advance . . .

Sounds like it could be a real deal even with 1,400 miles on it. See this Nitro must have been a "Demo" driven by a Manager from the Chrysler Dealership. As a past Chrysler Parts Manager I was supplied a free "Demo" (even ordered what I wanted to drive) years ago. Back then I could only drive it for 6 months before I had to turn it back in to be sold. Chrysler also rebated additional funds for any "Demo" put in service and later sold. Not sure what they do these days, but I expect this is one reason for even a lower price than you would find on another Nitro in stock. My personal advise is be decisive, buy it now or pass. This is how I have lived all my life with no regrets.

Tomorrow may be too late. Thanks for your post and please let us know how this all plays out for you and Good Luck.

PS Think you will enjoy the NITRO if you buy it! Remember it comes with some Lifetime Warranty and you could also purchase additional Service Contracts that would extend the present three year/36K one or Maintenance Contracts. Something else to ponder!

picked up the R/T Sunday. Really couldn't pass up the deal. $95 + tax and license so I can officially say that I'm the owner of a 09 Bright Silver Nitro. Took it for a test drive - highway, city and roads in between and it handled as advertised. Dealer was about 65 miles from here and I must say that I was quite pleased with the drive back . . . and the sound system is incredible

Here are some pics . . .
