Did the dirty deed
And traded the '10 in for the 07 GT500. I'll get some of my own pics posted after I make some.
Im totally in love with this new car. My '10 was a really good car, but the Shelby is a great car.
The ink hadnt even dried on the contracts when they had 2 customers lined up waiting to drive mine. They were out in the parking lot revving it up while we wrapped up the deal then 1 took off while the other waited his turn to look at my old car. You have to understand this is a small dealership too that is all used cars and caters to mostly old rich dudes. They had just brought in a Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S for example. I felt like the toothless, filthy white trash dude there. I wish I had a banjo...that would have made it complete.
One guy was just buying a Porsche and they asked what his monthly mortgage payment was. No **** he says "8790 a month." Neither of the 2 sales guys there batted an eye. I was floored. I can't imaging writing that check every month!!
Anyway, I'm glad that some fat old rich guy decided to trade the GT500 in for a vette. Cuz now I'm rocking "The Beast"

Congrats on the purchase! Interesting direction to head but how can you argue with a shelby 
This though doesn't make sense to me. Even on a 3 year/36 month loan, that would mean that the car most likely would cost 280k+ with total payments near $320,000. Porsche doesn't sell models valued at over $200,000...so yeah, I don't know what was going on there. Unless he was trading down from like rolls royce or bentley....which also isn't possible, because those companies will not finance cars.
