How buying this one works

You would buy this one directly from the dealer, not through Jeremy, so there is no auction fee or dealer fee from us. If you're interested, contact the dealer yourself through the listing.

Price

Asking price: $14,990. Estimated out the door: about $16,500 (asking price plus about 10% tax, tag and title). The dealer may add its own fees.
