My guess: THe $400 is a Recent College Graduate special incentive, which the OP didn't qualify for, so it was added to the advertised price. -- The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts. -- Bertrand Russel

The ad says the price does not include optional equipment. Is A/C and a CD player optional equipment ? That's all I would care about. If I thought I could figure out what the price of the car is, I might be tempted to buy it if it sounded like a good deal, but at this point I'm not sure I trust them and am not experienced enough to know what I might expect from dishonest salemen. I don't want to go through a big hassle and a bunch of games to get a car.
