How much do you guys think the dealership fees would be? What problems do you think the dealership may be trying to hide?

The private-party blue book value in good condition is $3,582, so in theory I could have $1,887 in dealership fees and come out ahead.
Sale-Tax.com says the sales tax in that ZIP is 9.43%, so tax would be at least $159.84.
Their site says they are out of the office until Thursday. Apparently they don't have the staff to stay open and pick up new inventory. |
Their site says no hidden fees and no-haggle pricing. I would expect to pay $1900 + tax and registration fee.
The biggest risk on a 15 year old Prius with more than 200K miles is the hybrid battery.
It also looks like it has been hit from behind from the gaps between the bumper cover and body.
