yeah that's tru, no matter wut dude, i could be holding 10 grand in my hand i'll still say i'm broke, just a habit of mine,lol

 

I'm in nw PA where the salt is constantly on the road in the winter months and it rains a lot so my GS-T is in the garage allllllll the time...it doesn't come out in the snow or rain...Weather sucks here....I have a beater for the winter and crappy weather, a '96 Jeep Cherokee..I'm very **** about keeping my ride nice because of all the money dumped into it...My philosophy, if you pay all that money for something nice then why not keep it that way? You can get "seasonal" inusrance if you store the car in the winter, it's up to the insurance company and the lender whether they'll let you or not since there is a lien on the vehicle...so pick up a beater for a couple grand and keep that Evo looking sweet and out of the sh!tty weather....Also, I looked into buying an '03 Evo with 23,000 miles on it this past summer...The car was sooooo nice, not a mark on it and very mild and minor mods...the dealer wanted $23,995 RETAIL for it and with me using my special sales skills I was able to get him down to $20,500 but from that price he wasn't putting **** on my ride so I decided to just keep mine and will for a long time so that's why Ihad a hard time believing someone can get a nice decent Evo for 15-16 grand.

 

yeah i found a few between 15 and 16.5, and they're all nice too and not beat to sh**. and yeah maybe i'll just do that, if my wifey lets me store my car in ehr garage ,lol

 

Shreff dont be mistaken. With the market how it is now and the Evo X out now the VIIIs are dirt cheap. Why to you think I sold without batting an eye? I say it comeing, I actually sold JUST IN TIME. the prices had come down already close to $2-$3k on used Evos. I mean to the point where a stock VIII with like 40k is selling for like $$19-$20k. when a year before that they were prob selling at that milage like $24k or more even

 

The market does crazy things to the used car business sometimes. These used '07/08 crown vics and grand marquis LS'swe get as program vehicles with usually around 15,000 miles from the Ford Factory auction are a car that sticker brand new in the 30 grand to 31 grand range but since there isn't that huge of a market on that car itis a vehicle we can sell in the 16,000 ish range so a customer can save a huge amount buyong one of those program cars over new any day and that's the way I would go too and that's with me being a Ford employee...Just an example of how the used car market and depreciation is now.
