One nice thing about Oregon is that we don't pay a tax on cars. The bad thing is that the dealers know it and aren't as willing to deal. As a business owner I can tell you that it is critical to maintain a margin and we don't give it up easily. They have plans to monetize some way, some how. I'd take the prices you've seen with a grain of salt until due diligence is thoroughly done. In fact I'd take the op's prices with a grain of salt. After 5 years he'll have paid 41k + for the car.
That then doesn't seem like such a screaming deal. However, if he takes care of the car he could get 50% of the original purchase price like I did on a 6 year old TL which makes for a much more substantial down payment on the next car.

To think, I was almost a resident of Oregon a few months ago...but Rufus, OR was not all that appealing to me.

The op seems to have found the Mother Theresa's of car dealers. They open the doors, turn on the lights, keep inventory, pay salaries, and then don't make any margin on a car.
Look I'm pretty much a moron at business and even I know that's not realistic or sustainable.
