Preowned car market is crazy saturated. All the 0% financing. I would try and work em a bit....and listen to all the vx brothers and sisters out in vxinfoland, and vmagworld, as posted cause there is a solid deal out there for you somewhere. As for the blind spot. The short wheel base and the sixth sense that helps me/you/us backing up and getting a sense of what's behind helps with that. Mirror upgrades and camera kits for the super tech are available as well- good luck
