I'm still watching and wishing for a time when I get to test once locally first. I think even with the awesome price the trade in and if I went for it, shipping back and forth of cars would put it out of my range.

maybe when I win lotto!

for great dealz!

Just managed to get my 86,500 Dodge Rewards Visa points applied to the deal on my blackie.
That's worth about $855 so it was definitely worth refactoring the paperwork even if it meant a small delay.
Hoping to receive the new paperwork tomorrow and the car by next week with any luck!

Well, those 86,500 Dodge Rewards Visa Points I accumulated since 2004 mostly modifying my Neon SRT-4 certainly worked out well for me.

Those 86,500 points worked out to be worth $850.

So the total price of $21,986 (including fees) for the black CSRT originally computed to a payment of $435.24
but subtracting $850 from that for the Dodge Rewards Visa Points reduced the balance financed to $21,131
which computes to a payment of $418.31

I know it's only a $16.93 difference
but somehow $418 seems alot better than the previous payment of $435

and since I'm running a Ponzi scheme here

$16.93 per month over 60 months just happens to compute to an astonishing $1015.80 !!!
So I get the value of the points back again...and more!

Also, I ran an "upside down" check and even with 20% instant depreciation, this deal is so good, the loan is never upside down, even during the first month.

All of a sudden, I feel like maybe I'm pretty good at high finance! :bigthumb

It's all about QUALITY in posts.

But for some reason I've still done well.

Thanks. I do have some pm's and emails. I had yesterday off, and it's a snow day here, which means a lot of lot rodeo. But we still officially have 2 left.

Working a deal on the silver one. No deposit yet. Will know today, but it's still available.

And surprisingly not much action on the cheapest one of them all.. the orange one.

thepowertowin · 12-20-2008, 04:32 PM

Both calipers (orange and silver) still fully available. LOL.... What am I going to have to do to find these a home?

Trade straight up for the EVO?

Rayek · 12-21-2008, 08:11 PM

how would you work an out of state deal for the orange one, just got directed to you from mid-atlantic section, I am in the market right now, just have to find a way to either trade my Cobalt ss/sc (carmax perhaps) or sell it.
