Forgot to mention, I made a decent deal with the Shelby. Didn't get raped nearly as bad as I did on the SGT. I've always gotten ****ed on cars my whole life, especially trading. Seems that everyone else on the intarwebs (and people I talk to) always get super deals, even make money when they trade cars (which I think is total bull****, they're just trying to look good, lol).
The sticker on the GT500 was $57K, I bought it for $50K cash and trade of the SGT at the end of the model year sale. Drove the 500 for 4 years. Sticker on the Jeep was $52K, gave them the 500 and wrote them a check for $6K and walked out the door.
Not great, but not bad. I had $50K in the 500, had it for 4 years and got a $52K Jeep for it and $6K. Looking at cash only, I figure it cost me about $6K to have the 500 for 4 years and got a vehicle out of it that is brand new and has a higher sticker price than I paid for the 500 to begin with.
Wait, you got $7000 for the SGT? Or was there a big markup?

Hate to say it, but the next hot rod I buy will have an automatic. I wish I could buy a GT500 with an auto.
I'd kill for a Boss. But that won't be an auto. The challengers are nice but way too big IMO and not as mod friendly. Wouldn't turn one down but I'd much rather have a mustang.
I was surprised to see it come up. The only pic I could see was a small thumbnail. If the pic was my old car, someone changed out the grill and got rid of the fogs.
My husband keeps trying to talk me into selling mine......

****, you're getting old
I cut two loose and ended up with 2 more...one completely out of the box and the other I picked up for the wife....
I considered a new 15 but can't get past the fact that it just depreciates and the Boss 302's haven't come down enough yet...and I really dislike car payments so I'll wait. You can still have a ton of fun with cheap used cars
Driving around the area ill be working in for the next couple weeks.
I've been right where you're standing. Had an absolute blast on that trip! You just have to watch which areas of St Louis you're in at night, gets a little sketchy some places.
