Then the crossfire must feel like it is in the double digits.

How much money down? Just curious. And term was 36?

Anyways you aint buying it out at 8-9k that again I promise you. Again keep living in la la land where the crossfire is the superior automobile and dan actually gets laid.

1500 down, term is 39 months. all those prices are with tax included. you can gurantee whatever you want, but your gurantee has nothing to do with my ability to negotiate prices. every car i have owned i have paid 10% or more under invoice for. got a good deal on the crossfire because my sister bought an ssb autostick at the same time as me. you are the one constantly pointing out how much value the crossfire is losing. how much to you think a 3 and a half year old model with 50 thousand miles on it is going to fetch??

and when have i said its superior. all i have stated are facts. it handle's and brakes better than a mustang gt. those are facts. every magazine we have looked at has proved that. stop arguing for a car that you dont own. seems you are already regretting your neon.

As I have stated to others on this forum, I think the crossfire loss will level out, I know I have talked to Good Enough about this. It will be like a jeep wrangler they lose 60 percent of there value then start to level out.

I guess the crossfire will still fetch low-mid teens.

Well by now you know I am a huge mustang fan. Sure i would rather have a new GT over my srt-4, thats a no brainer. But it was 12k more than my srt-4, for what I paid i could have not beaten it. The srt-4 has given me what I want, power. My dad took the srt-4 out and he said he was shocked by the power it had. He said it was crazy and reminded him of the grand national he test drove in 87. That too took him by suprise.

And I can turn around and sell my srt-4 for around or more than i paid for it. What is sad is my crossfire only has a value of 2-3k more wholesale than my srt-4. If they throw great incentives on the new gt, I'll probably pick one up. Or if a find a great deal on a 03-04 cobra I will buy one. But once the crossfire lease is up, I will be buying something. By then hopefully the hype of the GT500 will die down. Man that car is going to be hot.

see but thats so lame, because then i can just throw at you go buy a 2000 ss for what, ten grand, throw on a turbo and all neccesary complimentary items, your srt4 will never keep up with that. if all you wanted was power, then get the most powerful car, 5.7liter turbo, for less than 20. i guess now you see what i mean, i didn't just get the crossfire for acceleration, there are alot of other factors to throw in.

That 2000 SS for ten grand would be beat to hell, and have a pretty good amount of miles. But I get your point. And a turbo'ed ls1, is cool in my book. You should have done that. But now you have alot of headaches. Thats why I didn't want SS, I thought of buying an 02 but, just wanted something newer. ANd i have owned 2 f-bodies, wanted something different. And a bolt on turbo ls1 would run 11's once you beefed up the drivetrain, the stock rear on f-bodies are weak. There are plent of srt-4 in the 11's with less than 3k in mods. AGP turbo kits rock!

ANd you have to admit the payment on your crossfire lease is pretty hard to beat. It was a good payment and you jumped on it. I did the same thing.

yeah, which is the same reason you bought the srt-4. your agruements have swayed so far from where you had started.
