toneman55 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 :happy feet: :happy feet: Just picked up my dream. It's red with black stripes. Paid MSRP of $46,880.00. Bought the extended warranty and Lo-Jack, with the discount from AAA it basically comes free. VIN is 1ZVHT88S485139752 so it sat at the dealer for awhile. It actually was at Claremont Ford...they were bought by Clippinger so the car sat in Claremont then was trucked to West Covina. They originally had the price at $77,500.00!!!! I walked in several times and the price kept on dropping. Each time they didn't meet my offer I walked out. Was at Winternational drag races and received a call from the GM...they dropped the price and made a deal over the phone...Had the windows tinted...20%. Glad to be a part of the group.....will post pictures soon :happy feet: :happy feet: :happy feet: :happy feet: :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my rides have been around town. I need to reset the computer and and drive it some distance to really get an accurate reading. 75....this car is yawing at 75...guess I just have to train my foot to feather the pedal.
