OK, here's the deal guys...I'm an owner of a '05 base crossfire coupe with 40k. I just made my last payment on my lease. Since my baloon payment is only 15k, I decided to finance that. So on this very Saturday I went to the dealership to inquire on extending my warranty. The guy that sold me my car 3 years ago, Mike Rozen, who is now the finance manager told me that they just got a '06 SRT6, Slate Grey, with 10k miles. He says to me "You're going to buy this car Milt". So I figure, let me go out back and at least take a look.

So I look at it, say to myself "hmmm, nice - not to crazy about the color but it's ok". On a scale of 1 - 10, the car is a 8.75. So I ask to take it for a spin, mind you, I've never driven this car before. The car is mechanically sound, fully loaded and it gets up - even with the A/C on. So we get back to the dealership and I ask him what's it going for. He says 22k, I figure I can talk him down to 20 which I did. So I say to Mike, the finance guy, to make it happen.

Now here's the final details, My payments on the base was in the mid 400's for 3 years (I put like $50 down). Since I planned on financing the balloon, it will remain at that rate for another 36 months. If I get the SRT-6, my payment will still be the same for 48 month. So I went ahead with it. Objectively, I'm going to keep it for maybe a year, year and half at most and sell it on Craiglist, E-bay or something. So tell me what you think, did I get a good deal or what?
