Trade In

You might be better off removing the add ons and swapping any stock stuff you have laying around. If you tossed or sold them you might be able to find them for sale here or craigslist. Then turn around and sell your mods to other members. You'd probably get a better price on the car and mods that way.

thats what i hate about dealerships. When i traded in my Z, it had some mods on it. Dealership wouldnt give me anything extra for them. But when i asked them to lower the price on the srt-10 ram i was buying, they said no and tried to use the excuse that the truck already had a intake, exhaust and a custom sound system in it, so it was worth more. But somehow my Z wasnt worth more with the mods in it...go figures...

Nice. Careful on a used dodge, though. A lot of people over-pay. A used dodge pick-up was the biggest commission I ever made.

Well at the time i was looking there was 3 srt-10s within my province. One of them was 2,000 less then mine and only had 17,000km on it, my truck when i picked it up had 81,000km. However the other truck was rear-ended and the dealership put a new rear bumper on it. The other one, i didnt like the guys at the dealership at all. I drove 5 hours with my 370z to that dealership and they wouldnt let me test drive it until i said "ok, cya" and as i was opening the car door they came out with the keys. Then during the test drive i could hear and feel something wrong with the brakes. The guy said all the brakes were just replaced. I wanted to see paperwork but they wouldnt show me, and they wouldnt lower the price of the truck for the brakes. I told them to give me a day or two to think it over and discuss it with the wife. The next day they called me and asked if i wanted it and they needed a answer now due to someone that came in, willing to put 10 grand down and take it then and there. So i said "fine, let him have it" That was about 6 months ago and the truck is still sitting at that dealership.

I decided to pick this one because it had a clean title and had a nice sound system and a few other mods already done. The sales guy was amazing, he was new and only been in the trade for 3 weeks so he didnt know all the bs lies. Although the sales manager was the prick and wouldnt give me anything for the mods but wouldnt lower the price of the truck since it had mods. Told them to give me 3 days to take the mods off and they did. In the end, i couldnt be happier. Sure i miss the Z, but it wasnt what i needed.

Those SRT-10s are unique vehicles, for sure!

thats one of the reasons why i bought one. I got the Z, wanting to be different, at the time i only seen one other Z on the road. About 3 months after i got the car, there were 370z's all over the place. I have only seen 2 SRT-10 Rams where i live on the road. One is supercharged and one has a mild engine build. Me and the guy with the supercharger are going to be going against each other in the summer at the 1/4. His RC with a blower, mine is a QC with nitrous...lol.

I bought the wife a 2011 Grand Cherokee Limited and gotta say that sucker is one awesome vehicle. I was thoroughly impressed with Jeep's redesign.

The Overland was Really nice as well.

Benz and Chrysler designed the Grand Cherokee for 2011. I think they did a good job over all
