They smoke $1k bills Herc. Went to one once, and saw the prices and was like are they serious. The oldest car at the time (3 years ago) was like an 2002 on the lot.

Herc, their pricing scale is wacky. They seem to have a strange sense of value. Obviously make, model, year, mileage and zip code all affect their price, but they seem to be very hit/miss with varying trim levels. Some models you can find at a steal, but most models are a bit high. However, their no-haggle setup has kept them busy - even in the current economy.

So you go in there and just pay what the sticker says? Screw that.

I paid almost 4 thousand less for mine (also a 99) and at the time it only had 61K miles (I drive a lot) just last summer, and it's in the same basic area...I should drive up and take a look at it, it's only 15 minutes from me. Granted mine was bought from a private seller, but still, that is a ton of money for a 99, although cars always seem to cost more around the chicago area than anywhere else close to here
