I’m not sure if it’s $2-3k but considering my last car purchase still took 4 hours even though I walked into the dealer knowing the exact car I wanted with minimal negotiating, I’d probably pay more to not have to deal with that.

I wouldn’t, but for what it is, assuming it passes a mechanical inspection, it is the right price.

Is there even a such thing as a base model nowadays?

The entry level XL trim has power windows, power locks, cruise control, air conditioning, AM/FM, infotainment (android auto/carplay), push button start. What else do you really need?
