Red face Might be saying Goodbye to the X!

At the Credit Union right now getting loan paperwork. Going down to negotiate over a 2012 Challenger R/T in a few. I've been kicking around buying a used GT500, but they only seat 4. Challenger seats 5 which is nice. And it's 1/2 the price of a GT500 used. Test drove the Challenger yesterday and it would light up the tires through third!

I'm bored with the truck scene right now, so we'll see what happens. That, and I love my V-10, but it just doesn't hold a candle to my old 6.0. MPG or Power

Ill update with the results

I'll give you $90k for it, but you have to drive it here... No gaining or losing altitude

Good luck. It's definitely nice to have a car to have fun in.
I remember when you were on the Expedition forum, detailing your ordeal with Ford, and interestingly, saw you on the Excursion forum after I got rid of my Expedition and bought the Excursion. Maybe we'll meet again when I get a Hellcat (wishful thinking).

Trying to get $7k trade. I may just keep the damn thing for $5k!

Keep getting the usual "it's 12yrs old" crap.

Final offer was $5,750

I'm keeping it! I hate Dealerships. Going to list the X for I think $9k just to get a quick sale

The last time I played their game I was trying to trade in our Tahoe for an Ex. Their offer was ridiculous. I told him we were done talking about the trade in and now we are talking about their sales price. He said they couldn't go down on the sales price but he said if they gave us more for the Tahoe would we buy. I told him I don't care how they get there, they could give me nothing for the Tahoe as long as they lower the price of the Ex appropriately or give me way too much for the Tahoe and I would pay what they wanted for the Ex. At the end of the day it is about total cost.

I hate dealerships too.

I ended up walking out

Told them I'd pay $25k out the door for the Challenger. He came back with $25,595. I got my keys and walked outside. He came running up with an offer of $25,300. I left

Challenger needed new tires and they refused to come off the price of $24k. Guess I didn't need it that bad
