Considering Ford was going to give me $100 for my Riviera, $13k sounds pretty damn good. Mind you, ford had the same model Riv on the lot selling for $12k w/ 110k miles on it. I was expecting at least $2,500. Shame of you Ford. I ended up buying the Crossfire a week later.

but I was counting on my Crossfire to hold its value enough that in a perfect situation I could make an even trade on a brand new sub-compact with auto and air. If of course life made keeping the Crossie challenging.
