I priced out the one at cochran and came to about 26k but have about 1.5 negative equity in my car still. Thats including the shitty GM Supplier discount which you could probably negotiate better than.

Its just a supplier one, its not that great. I use it as a base price to start negotiations. I never settle for less than the invoice price on the car. You should be looking at after rebates around 25-26k for the silver one at cochran in robinson iirc.

ouch, yeah thats going to hurt. I think the most I could get on a trade on mine right now would be 15k even. I would be better off ebaying it myself. I think I'm hanging on to mine for about another 2 years and see what happens with the Zeta platform.

Any reason you want to dump the car already?

Just ready for something a little faster, nicer interior, just different. Did you go and get your car quoted for a trade in?

No but prior experience tells me 10-15% less than blue book is about what you would be looking at. I wasn't serious about trading mine in, I just like to occassionally shop around.

Rofl, if that were the case, I would also come home with a Pioneer AVIC-Z2. It is marked as OB and I want to take it off their hands if its any good.

The only radar detectors I've heard rave reviews on are the Escorts and the V1s. People tend to strongly prefer one or the other.

Contrary to popular belief, stealth jets like the F-117 and B-1 don't have some fancy paint that reflects radar. They use plastic panels. No need to Google that. I promise

Hence, the Stealth Ion Red Line

Sometimes they hang around Greensburg/Mt. Pleasant which isn't too bad of a drive from good ol Fayettenam. I'm around Uniontown from time to time but it's usually just to visit family and get the hell back home.

Wow missed alot this afternoon. I actually went to look at the spice red GTO in Connellsville back right after Christmas. At that time it had been sitting on the lot for like 9 months. They didnt want to budge very much at the time and the car was in less than brand new shape. Had a little bit of paint damage, rotors were warped, the glass had acid rain scars in them ect... I have a smart buy for 3 years which was ok because if you trade gm for gm they dont care. Negative equity FTL. I think im 4k in the bonus right now with mine. Huge ass down-payment FTW.

Ouch, I knew they let it sit outside, but I didn't realize it had that kind of damage. They got that one in late July of last year...they called me up the day it came in to come check out the new color...lol. Sorry for recommending that one. I paid a little higher than most for mine, but that's because they had to dealer trade, I got it a few months after the 06's were out, and it was also a very hard to find combo. I will say that Brooks treats their customers right though
