You're right - just a frame of reference. I do not like this vehicle enough to keep it when gas goes back up ... it's horrible on MPG. The warranty on the car is 3/36, so no incentive there.
 
I will be sure report on how it goes ... we may go down to one car for a while!

I'm not in love with the car. I like the way it drives/handles, but even at sub-$2 gas, it still gets horrible MPG.
 
I didn't finance through a bank, but rather Chrysler Financial.

I'm planning to "shop" a little in January and February. Good sense says to wait for the 2010's to appear. The allure of an extreme bargain will nail me, no matter what good sense purports!

A reporter from a large national newspaper would like to speak to consumers who have sought to take advantage of the desperate situation car dealers find themselves since their sales have slipped in recent months, and bargained hard or in unusual ways during the last few weeks, whether they were successful at buying a vehicle at a low price or not. The writer is thinking many consumers have been empowered and can now turn the tables on car salesmen.

I love the scientific approach, when someone has an hypothesis, and then tries to find data to substantiate the hypothesis.

It's not science, it's entertainment. You have to give some slack here...
 
Like those "ten best places to retire" articles-----

#2 Villa in Tuscany
#3 Manhattan Penthouse
 
Gee, I never would have thought....
 
Dealers and car buyers remind me a lot of cops and robbers...they have some things in common...

Do you think it would be easier to find buyers sympathetic to dealers to the extent they are offering to pay sticker plus a 20% hardship adjustment?

I wish you guys had a forum where members could go to read all of these articles that we've given data for.
 
I'd like to read more on "turning the tables" on them bad ole salespeople.
