Well after trying to sell the car and getting no interest, except for one guy who drove it and then I never heard back from, I'm going to be trading in my SRT4. It was a short lived love, but I must move on. As I've stated before, my reason for getting rid of it is to save up money for a house-I've gotten a new job that pays much better and could've kept the car, but it still makes sense to reduce my overall debt as much as I can. I was able to work out an awesome deal on my trade to where the dealership really isn't making money on either end-I had a friend who works there verify this for me, which actually helped a lot in the negotiating. My new vehicle is a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4x4, 4.7 V8. I know this thing is a gas whore but my work is only 5 miles from my house so I won't be driving much. Secondly, I'll need 4x4 for the winters and I plan on getting a small plow for it to help my parents out, along with myself. The truck made sense because we plan on buying land in Maine also and building a "camp"-just a small house with no water/electricity/etc. and I'll need the truck to haul wood and other shit in and out of the land. Lastly, I'm paying $250 less per month for the truck overall-payment and insurance- and my payoff is only $9995
I'll obviously still stick around and I will DEFINITELY be missing my car. I really love the stupid thing and its the funnest car I've owned,I'll definitely buy another one someday and put a big turbo on it. Well I'm off to work and will see you guys tonight.
