I'm really trying to contain myself here but i really smell BS. Just like all of you, we've all bought a few cars before. I have yet to meet a reputable dealer that conducts business with an even trade and no profit. Their car has less milage, a harder to find color, navi plus throw in the extras(emblems) all for an even trade. Hmmmm. I'm smelling something.

If you are saying, what's in it for the dealer, then yes my friend you are not the only one scratching their head.

I don't see anything odd about this at all.

Black is far easier to sell than Blue - rarity does not help the dealership in this case and they are probably looking at the ability to turn it over faster.

The mileage is higher, but they can probably get the same money or like I said sell it faster. It could have been sitting on the lot there for a while.

The OP got s great deal - he has a color he loves, something new, and almost a year's worth of lower mileage. NAV isn't a big deal since it is a pretty outdated interface anyways.
