This is a good thing. I have noticed a few E Bay auctions ending without reserve being met.
I have also been talking to and getting quotes from dealers with them on the show room floors. Best yet so far was 7k over MSRP.
I still refuse to pay over MSRP on a car, so in all honesty I might...
If i only could see into the future.
Local dealer has one on ebay and it is at 59k.
MIght be able to oder a 2008? dunno only time will tell. just thinking out loud.
After alot of research i found out ford had the best compact suv out there for the 25k range. I got it for invoice and 0.0 % for 36 months. Got shafted on the trade in. 27,800 10k miles on it. Some lucky bastard will get a well taken care of cobra with qmp lt headers.
Many many reasons. Just seems like such a waste to have a fast car and not take it to the track. Going to trade it in on a compact suv. Some lucky buyer is going to get a used 03 with headers and only 9 runs down the track.
From this thread.
I got a top 50 spot out of 1000 cars or more.

I just had a great experience with a shop here. I have to give them some props.

600 bucks not bad for a set of rims. I have seen them on a black stang and they looked pretty nice. All black no no no, but with the silver lip. I like
Cleaned my car yesterday and noticed a grease puddle about 3"x3" on the inside bottom of each front rim. Like it pooled there while the car was sitting. Not spattered around the rim like it was seeping out while driving. Weird huh?
Also got my first rattle. A slight metal tinking comming from...
