Yes, you're probably right. But, on the other end of the
over-priced scale, take a look here:
http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/mcy/1616393312.html
Isn't a 1 owner, '05 GW, with 10.5K miles, worth more

Or, is it just some kind of scam ? I'd go have a look at
it if I had garage space for it. Maybe someone here
would be interested.
