just for fun
i took my '84 in to the local dodge dealership. they have a really sweet copper viper in the showroom, asking $88,000. they would give me $10K as trade in and with another $10K my wife would give me for a down payment my payments would only be $1524.89/month including tax for the next 5 years. hmmm...couldn't quite talk the wife into that one. oh well, guess i will have to wait another year or 2.

Ask them if they'd do the same on a deal for a Stratus

LOL that's more then twice my house payment, this is why I stick with used cars, I can get more for my dollar with it, still, it's always fun looking, I have a buddy who keeps looking at new mustang GT's and I keep telling him to keep his daily driver and get an older car that is well kept and avoid the whole debt thing altogether.
