Default Re: Should I ???

Well, I did it.

We found a loaded 2007 Silver Autostick GT in Victorville. It has satellite radio, Boston Acoustics upgrade, electric seats, and a window sticker that was well north of $27,000. I got a $3,000 rebate and almost $500 under dealer invoice so the net was almost $5,000 off the window sticker.

They gave me a whopping $4,000 for my 151,800 mile 2003 GT. Even though the condition was very good with no scratches, door dings, service always up to date, runs strong, new tires, etc. they told me it would be sent to the dealer auction. One thing I didn't know (because I never go shopping for a high mileage car) is that lenders won't finance a car with more than 80,000+/- miles on it. They said with 151,000 miles the retail purchaser of my car would have to pay cash for it which limits the market.

Love the new GT. Now we wait for the Stage 1 upgrade for 2007's to come out. I need to be careful because it has the new lifetime unlimited mileage/unlimited time warrranty and I don't want to screw that up.
