Not true. There's no evidence colonoscopy screening saves lives, according to the U.S. Cancer Society.
What is the "U.S. Cancer Society?" I work in oncology and have never heard of this organization. I am, however, well aware of the American Cancer Society, which has recently embarked on a goal to screen 80% of eligible people for colon cancer (primarily via colonoscopy) by I think 2020.

It baffles me when people say "Kelly Blue Book" says it's worth 100 million dollars.
Peeps, Kelly blue book, your banker, your financial "advisor", NADA, Edmund's.com are all just guides to use. Those guys aren't buying your vehicles.
If you feel like you are being treated fairly, if you like the freaking vehicle that you are looking at, and if you can afford it for the love of god!!!! Biscuits!!!! and Gravy!!!! buy the damn vehicle!!

I've seen KBB lets say at 11.5k, Edmunds at 8.5, NADA at 8.7, and the customer still expects KBB. Stop.

I read where you bought the pathfinder...Are y'all enjoying it and did the transmission issues concern you much?

He went back to the sales manager to consult and came back with an offer of $14,176 for the new car and $4000 for the trade-in. I strongly suspected they weren't going to go up much more on the used vehicle. I realized I was being overly optimistic on what I was going to get for a 9 year old car.
I told him I would take the deal, if they paid the $50 title search because I could not find the title.
They said yes, but the negotiations weren't over yet. They then said I had to agree to financing or pay an additional $500 because those were the terms of the internet sale. I wanted to simply write out a check and buy it outright like I always buy cars.
However, if I put $3,000 down, all I have to do is pay $158 a month for 4 months, then I can pay it all off and avoid the 7% interest.
Scorecard
You payed full asking price for the car. You accepted thousands less than your research suggested you should for your trade in. Paying 7% interest on a new car that you claim to have been able to simply write a check for?
You should probably consider hiring some profesional help before considering another major purchase.

You must not have a day job then. Sure, I'll argue with them for a good while over a grand but at some point my time is better spent doing something else.
