Man, I used to sell cars a Crawford lol, good times...if Ruben or Steve is still in charge down there, you should be able to work 3k off that price w/some good price haggling.

You got the right idea though, DO NOT negotiate on monthly payments, ONLY overall price

Man, I miss EP haha, be back soon...

I'm definitely really interested in that silver LSJ at Crawford's. They are way overpricing the car though. According to KBB and NADA I can get it for 3 grand less than the 16,000 sticker price. I'll go to whoever will be most likely to get me as close to 13,000 for it.

So whichever one of you shows more initiative (more like wants the 100 bucks more ) I'll go to that person's "guy". I.E. make a phone call for me and see how low they will go. hehehe
I just bought a Lazer blue from crawford a month ago they had for 16,777 and i bought it down to 12,444, i only did $500 down.

paying 312 a month for only 4 years which is way better then my old 2.2 336 month for 5.5years

Nice. Ya'll want to give me some tips for haggling the price down?

This is going to be the first time I buy the car myself. I know the basics and the Army gives us some good resources and training about buying used cars but any help from you all is welcome as well.

hey fallen33 found a red ss lsj on craigslist for 12G for you. http:// elpaso.en.craigslist .org/cto/1683394239. html.

Emp. I was luck enough to sell the subs still got the amp, Looking for 250 obo.

I'm having a garage sale tomorrow but we may go out if I shut it down early. that sounds like fun, I've never gone out there in the day time.

Anyone know the guy on craigslist offering to turn our cars? I always get the creeps when I see posts like that. yuck... I dyno'd my car after stage one. I was a little annoyed, 270HP stock, 276HP stage 1. So I'm looking to go AF soon.

"I can tune your Cobalt LS LT or SS SC or TC on the turbo ss i can get you 300whp on a stock ss turbo that is more power for half the cost from GM and you will get better fuel ECO give me a call at... "

lol on the jacked up red on. that's probably why it only has 38,000 miles. There's a yellow coupe on there too stage 2 w/ other adds. It's on a car lot though.

That's what I thought about the tune too, but I never threw any code. I forget which one it's supposed to toss (p0277 or something) so IDK what's up, but I always said I never felt a difference. My car was a factory freak...

WTH on your tickets man? Since when is it "illegal" to have window decals? I'd fight all that crap. Wed nights got moved to saturday day time I think, or Friday night. which is crap. Wed is the best day to go.

i saw you this past week at the cruise, i saw your light and thought "hey cops look at me!" lol its illegal to have red or blue light like that (if not i would love some myself lol). Any non stock exhaust is a ticket so most of us our guilty, just your cop was a dick!

I've found out the hard way that being "a girl" always puts you at a disadvantage when it comes to mechanical things, so I like to be able to at least know what the real deal is. That way I can smile and nod when "tunners" at the track come up and say my A/F is supposed to be at 13 WOT and they can do it for me for a couple hundred or that they know a guy who can do slicks on my car for real cheap even after I explain it's not possible to do slicks on my car. I'm a total nerd at heart so cars fit nicely, I get to be the closet geek and still be cool at the same time lol
