You got ripped.  But I think you're figuring that out.
Many people got their GLXs out the door for around $19, not $24.

Yes, but you've put in 20Kmiles in how many months?  It took me a 
year and a half to put that much mileage on my car.  I think the mileage
is hurting you.

Because it is a previous-style car that has been driven hard, and it 
looks like you overpaid in the first place.  You can go ahead and 
keep asking for $19K, but I doubt you'll get it.
