To trade up or not....

[AeroF16]

Just do it. Aero. You only live once.
Have them toss something in to ease the measly 2K difference if need be.

Haha I know, why do I care about $2k on a car this expensive? I think it was more of the principle of me sticking to my guns with the offer I made them. I can easily afford the car, I guess maybe I just don't see the value in it after negotiating for a few days even though it's a great price.

Well, there is that thing called garage rejection, similar to donor rejection.
My garage would definitely wonder what it did wrong if I stuffed a 4-door in there.

I know the feeling, and can relate. Then again, I really haven't regretted a single car buy, but I sure try to forget about several that I passed on..

You are in the wrong place if you are wanting to be talked out of buying a new car

That was a good one 😂😂😂

Haha yeah. /

I think I am just a sucker for a good deal haha.

that logic works for women to fill their closets.....but it was on sale, look at all the money I saved .....why not you

the question comes down to....are you 100% happy with your current car.....or would you rather send it down the road?

Chrysler is offering 0% for 72, but I don't know if that includes SRT models....it usually doesn't

either way...good luck

To be perfectly honest, it has and has had several crew cab Rams in there. But it was brought up with those.

Like a hat, maybe 2

and some stickers....lots of stickers

I guess it comes down to value for me, which is the better value 5 years from now? I say that because I typically don't own cars longer than 4-5 years.

2016 with 40k miles that I paid $40k for or a new 2019 for $59k?

I've been working with this dealer for a while. Basically, looking at trading my 2016 Challenger Hellcat for a new 2019 Challenger Hellcat. Both have the same exact options. My current car has 40k miles, the 2019 has 12. Both standard body non REs with 8 speed autos.

The dealer is taking 18% off MSRP, which includes power dollars, and I feel like that is a pretty good deal. When adjusted for the increased value of my used trade in, the deal becomes 23.3% off MSRP (the trade value is $4k more than I paid for my 2016). No bullshit fees, just tax/doc fee (which I guess is bullshit but what can you do)/ and title. It's about 5% below invoice plus power dollars. We've gone back and forth for weeks and he says he is all in and cannot sweeten the deal anymore.

Seems like a great deal, but I am not sure it's worth trading my car + $20k (after you add tax/title/fees). Not worried about being able to afford it, it's just the opportunity cost of that $20k that gets me. Think I am going to pass unless you sons of bitches talk me out of it.

Also, if anyone wants a good deal on a 2019, I'll pass along the info. Triple Nickel, Leather w/ Alcantara inserts, pretty sure it's loaded with everything other than the auto cruise control (not sure what else was optioned on a 2019).

I advise you to buy the car and give it to me. I'll determine whether it was worth it by vigorous testing and analysis.

I think you should buy the '19, and keep the '16.
If for no other reason to have as many doors as Hellcatcfp is dragging around with just one car.

Four is always more than two

 

[Stormtrooper1320]

Funny funny and thank god I have the non taxi version. Now for @Hellcatcfp we need a moment of silence. A Charger parked outside and a Challenger WB RE to keep things balanced now for the other guy not so sure

I think I have finally figured out where Cal Worthington retired to.......and you're him! That's why you have all those different brands.

 

[AeroF16]

If I just had a drink or two, then I'd turn into a person that has two or three more drinks, and then that person would buy it without thinking...

And they say alcohol doesn't solve problems!

Yeah....for at least 200+ feet anyway

Only thing CC did correctly is to put Charger first before Challenger in his username 😅🤣😂🤣😅.

I always asked them how much we were taking off the price because of the tiger dents in the hood. They did not think that was very funny.

I was actually looking to see if there were anything good finance incentives through them, all I see is 2.9% for 60 months.

More seriously, I do not think that deal is bad (I've seen some paperwork on here somewhere that says 28% or crap like that, yee gods), but in the end, do what you think will make you the most happy. If you love the car and are just tired of some the longer term issues (like tires, micro-pitted windshield, UV fade on the paint, whatever) and would love to have it "like new again" and the money is not a problem for you, do it. If you'd rather mod this car and have some fun, then buy another in a few years, maybe try that. Sufficient modding can make the car feel "new" all the time.

yeah, and one of his Ford and Dodge dealerships in Huntington Beach were right down the street from each other, plus he had a bunch of other ones. When you went in there you'd better hold onto your wallet....tightly.

You can always refi through Navy Fed and get their new car rate as long as you don't have any more than 7500 miles on it when you refi. I've played that game multiple times. Take the dealer financing to get all the rebates and not care what the rate was because I knew I could do better at Navy Fed after the fact. They don't always have the best rate at the time, but you'd have time to wait. They are 2.29 for 72 right now
