I've spent more time shopping for lesser things. It was a great price, its a Honda, and it suits my needs. Yea, its not exactly what I wanted, but at several thousand less, I'm willing to compromise. Part of the the compromise, too, is that I need to share it with my wife, who now has a long commute to grad school 2x a week.
Making major purchases is always a lesson to me about salesmanship, marketing, and the customer experience. The honesty in the auction listing was certainly a confidence builder. Part of the reason for the good price was that the car had been rebuilt after an accident. They explained what they checked and fixed. The low price makes the decision easier, because if I don't like it, I can resell it and not be short a bunch.
