Default Re: Car Value - Jesus How low can it Go

I purchased thru finance, a new 2006 Limited coupe in October 2007 for only $20,000. But I really had my heart out for a SRT-6. A month later being curious,I logged onto Auto Trader. Holiday,Florida listed a new 2005 SRT-6 with only 54 miles. Hickory,NC listed a 2005 SRT-6 with 25,000 miles. (Just for kicks only),I sent both dealerships the same E-mail. I only offered $22,000 for the new and $22,000 for the used. This was back in November of 2007. After opening my E-mail the next day,I suddenly went into TOTAL FINANCIAL PANIC. Both dealerships said I had just purchased a SRT-6. Thats 1 Limited Crossfire financed,2 SRT-6's to be financed within the week,3 X-wives,4 kids,and one girlfriend with a apartment maintenance mans salary. Oh My Gosh! I drove the Limited to CarMax. They offered me $19,000 for this car I had owned for one month. Only a thousand dollar loss. I said SOLD and all the money went to the finance company payoff within 3 days. Hooked up a trailer to the Squirrel Crusher 4X4 Dually to pick up each car. My 54 mile storage car now has 175 miles. I uncover it,warm it up, then take a short trip around the neighborhood monthly. The other now has a total of 35,000 trouble free miles. I've never had the thoughts of selling either! I just keep on making two car payments a month with full coverage insurance. Ouch!.... Don
