So I got a new car today. While I previously believed that my last car was the best car ever engineered, my new car is even more impressive. Given the skidpad-to-MSRP ratio, the nut-emptying technology employed in the valve timing, and the fact that every car I buy is the best car ever, you are all fools for not recognizing the superiority of my fine GM automobile. Who would buy a Porsche 911 when they could have a much better car for less? Oh, and please change my name to Red05. :finger: ---

Well, I guess I bought my car a little over a year ago now… I hit 39,000 miles last night, my cat is being replaced under warranty tomorrow, and I’m looking at trading it in for an 06 Ford Ranger on Tuesday… probably a terrible move. Anyone have a cheap 2WD manual beater truck for sale? I’d like to keep my car, but I don’t want two car payments, and I need a truck. ---

Please post up what they offer for your Suzuki on trade. I’m curious as to how bad those things really do depreciate in the eyes of dealers. ---

> [@Hycomp](#): > > Please post up what they offer for your Suzuki on trade. I’m curious as to how bad those things really do depreciate in the eyes of dealers. 2005 Suzuki Reno LX paid $12,666 for it one year ago small dent in one quarter new rear bumper paint chipped in front of rear wheels, and a bit on hood 39,000 miles offered me $8000 i don’t know how legit that number is… they could be playing with money they can afford to take off the truck, but the number on paper is $8000. ---
