Ok I weighed the painting my 92 318 4x4 vs buying a new one. I am buying a
new one!
Ok I went t a local dealer, Kingsville Dodge, and looked at a black 00 CC 4x4
V8. It has the sport plus package, yaddayadda...$26K sticker.
The dealer comes out, I tell him I had an internet deal where Musselman's
Dodge wanted to sell me one for 3% above invoice price ($700.00 above cost).
We go inside, he says he will do $622.00 above cost, plus I can order the
truck I want. Drawback, I have to wait 6-10 weeks. Any way here's what I
want:
Reg cab 4x4
4.7 V8
4sp auto
Sport plus group
Rear sliding window
skid plate goup
CD player w 8 infinity speakers
HD service group
Floor mats (yes this is a stupid option)
Deluxe convenience group (tilt steering plus cruise)
Anti spin diff (3.55's)
22 gal tank
bucket cloth seats
interior: Agate
exterior: Forest Green Pearl Coat ( Patriot Blue and Deep amethyst are only
available in SLT plus which means chrome grille & bumpers :0(.. )
On the road, with a 7 yr 75,000 mi powertrain warranty for $22, 900.00 Total
price before taxes, tags, warr extension: $20,339. I bitched, but still have
to pay $340 in advertising fees.
So, is this a good deal? I thought I would ask all my Dakota-nut peers.
Oh and guess what, these trucks have two converters. one at each downpipe.
That means TRUE DUALS (legally in MD) !!!!!!
No plug wires either. Dist.less with * coils on top of the Plugs with are
right under each injector. Intake is wierd too. A totally different engine!
I wanted to drive the one CC they had, but It was still wrapped in plastic.
I'm STOKED!
