However, I HATE THE PAINT. Black is hard to take care of anyway, but this thing is full of chips and dings from normal city/suburban usage over the last 2 years I've had it. It's also fairly loud on the highway but that's to be expected. Only other complaints are that the infotainment is kind of crappy but they've fixed several aspects of it in later year models.
Thanks!

Even if they lost their minds and overpaid, they would (or should) not have broken $36k on it. I'll let you figure out how much profit they should earn on it.

If you sold it privately you could probably ask $4k-$5k.
And, no, I don’t think you’d get $4k with so much wrong with it.

There's a message in there somewhere. You'd have no problem finding Siennas that old, or Caravans, for that matter. The Monterey is rare but a copy of the Windstar, which are a little more plentiful.
Dealer asking prices for old sleds like that are often ridiculous because, well, used-car dealers, and because they might have to pony up on a worthless trade. 15-year-old used cars on dealer lots are about everything but the car in question. And no matter what, $6 for an 04 Monterey is a joke.
This van is worthless on trade. Private sale, whatever you can get... clean, no crack, everything working including AC, might see high $2s if it's really nice... pandemic pricing... if you look at enough old cars, most of them are rats, so a nice one really stands out. This model was unloved for a reason, though. I personally wouldn't buy it without AC, not in OK city. Lots of families in need of transportation....miles are low, list for $1900, hope & pray?

Did they get a decent deal?
The dealer got most all of holdback due to it being a very recent build date and it just shipped to dealer within the last 10 days. I’ve been watching for it to arrive.
The buyer was pleased anyhow.

I have a 'customer' -- yet another german postdoc -- need to find a good acronym for these folks -- so I'll probably drop a few requests here and there the next couple of weeks.
One immediate offering is a 2012 Ford Fusion SEL V6, black over black cloth with a roof, good shape with a few light scratches, Cooper tires with tread, 150k, clean and obviously maintained. Asking $4,800 which strikes me as high -- bought MY '12 Fusion, leather but no roof, really nice shape and 94k, from the same dealer and the price was $5,200 asking, just before the virus hit.
Has the market changed that much? And what's it worth?
As an aside, next to it is a 2004(!) Chrysler Concorde that looks totally in the wrapper. Super clean car, 106k, screams 'we winter in Florida since we learned it's a verb' ...no price on it...until I popped the hood and saw it has the 2.7. Ewwwwww. I'd pay $1200 for that car and plan my next move.
My buyer says he's in no hurry, I told him yes you are, I ain't looking for cars when it's negative five degrees socialist and i have to shovel snow off the VIN to get to it...Europeans don't get our weather. 73 yesterday, rode close to 50 miles with a friend from work. Glorious! Now back to the indoor trainer...
Thanks in advance as always! -mathias

I'd predict that any owner of a $130k Audi will feel pretty 'mortal' when the warranty is up.
