I pulled into the dealership with every intention of buying the '05 S, but of course, the '05 S was gone, plus they had an '03 S with only 17K, gone too! So, I test drove an '06 S that the dealer was willing to let go for invoice (mid 40's). The deciding hitch was; I purchased the '00 for 20K two months ago, received an appraisal for 17K. Sucks being upside down by so much, it's only been 2 months! Don't believe I'd do much better in a private deal, sounds just about where it should be.

I figure I'm upside down in the '00 by 5K (tax, 60K major, mods), I just can't bring myself to drop that amount of cash for 2 months of ownership. So, I've decided to wait for the bottom to arrive and enjoy my '00 until the Spring. Hopefully I can nail down an S then, plus my wife never has to know what I've been up to!
