Bret -



The wholesale price is what a dealer pays, on average, for that car.

Private sales are more likely to be somewhere near the

wholesale/reatail midpoint.  So I would rethink the term "profit" :-)

in your offer, maybe replace it with "big loss."



Even considering these points, those yellows should command a premium.

Why not make a real offer and go for it!
