You would be severely low balled otherwise, no?

My question as well.

Yes, sorry to say the baby had to go on its own

I traded, not gave back or sold, my car in for another car (4 cycl), and yes you are right I was low balled. However I was able to get the full KBB value plus a few to justify some of the mods on the car (since they were "Ford" based).

Most likely cause of the hp rating on the car, they are selling it like a Saleen or Roush package.

Basically what we are doing is this: Her (my wife) lease is almost up on her car (2 months), and so what we did was we traded in my car for another car (to save on gas, insurance, and maintenance since this was my DD). When her lease is up, we will drop down to one car family. In a few years, or whenever, I will get another car for myself...most likely a mustang. This will give us a chance to save money, and fix a few issues that are lingering about.

Plus I was able to get some money off the Mustang deal so all in all it went pretty well. I am not happy mind you, but one has to do what one has to do... :/
