    With today's technology in vehicles I would never buy a new vehicle unless I have money falling out my butthole. I have an 05 Chopper that had a brain I paid $1,500 to have that completely rewired to take the brain out so I would have no crazy breakdowns are flashing lights like I was. I have two fuses and I have not had any issues in any way for about 4 years now.
    FYI - it's all about the seven deadly sins (greed).

    I feel your pain. Before I had bought my Camaro I did insurance quotes between that and a Dodge Challenger R/T.
    The Challenger would’ve cost me an extra $350 a month vs. $246 for the Camaro!:eek:
    Yikes!!lol

    Actually as a result of the ridiculously high retail price of new 4 wheel drive vehicles is some cases second hand ( pre - owned) vehicles prices have actually appreciated in price rather than decrease which is usually the case basically from the time you drive out of the car yard.

    I owned a 71 challanger, I’ll get one again. That lime green made me fall in love with Maa Mopar.

    Corinthian leather, my foot. I looked it up, and there is no such animal.
