Ebayer's are notorious cheapskates. They won't touch a car unless its 20%+ off the dealers selling (not list) price (which ain't gonna make the dealers happy).

No worries. GM cars depreciate as fast as water evaporating from a cup and ebay users know this. The average GM vehicle loses about half its worth in about 3 years. They just do not want to deal with the mass depreciation.
