He told you $10k just to send you home, not because that's how much the car's worth.
Actually, dealers make more from used cars than new ones. Besides, they were going to make money on the new sale, and they would make a little on the used transaction as well. Plus, in-stock turnover is a good thing. Also, it was 67 degrees here today, nice top-down weather. Winter is brief in SC.

All they had to do is be realistic.
