After getting 11/15mpg in the Ram and gas hitting $3 a gal, knew I had to get rid of my Redneck Pickup. I was looking at the 300, but it was to Bling Bling. Then I thought to myself would I be able to switch from a Ram to a station wagon? The more and more I saw it I knew it was in the forerunning.
Then the news of the mustang came out. Man that sure looked pretty!! After taking having a couple of rentals, im glad I didnt wait for the mustang. The V-6 version is pretty stout, but the road noise is almost as loud as the Magnum with the FM 40's. It would have driven me nuts. Ssooo the Magnum it was!
Too bad I was $8k down on the Ram. I just saw the commercial for 0.0% at Dodge again. Went looking at a 06 Charger SE $23K + the 10K that I am down now on the Magnum = $550 month payments. About the same as I have now. The thing that got me out of the new car bug was the 3/36 warranty. I have the 7/70 on the Magnum HERE THAT DODGE!!!!!!!! If you had a rear warranty I might be driving a new Charger!! I sat there at the dealer and looked at them side by side, and I heard one of the lot monkeys say "Hot Car", I said yeah the Charger is. He said "No Yours", he just lost a maybe sell hahah.
On the way out I saw a 07 Caliber SXT for $17k. It looks ok on the outside, but the shifter console looks cheap as hell. BUt if course it is $10k down from the rest of the cars so it is like comparing apples to oranges, but should have just put the shift linkage on the steering column and left the center area empty.
Ok enough of my ramblin!!!
