Trade-In Value

[MDJAK]

Don't feed the trolls.

But do shop around for trade in value. When I traded my 17 Raptor at a Porsche dealer, one offered me 55k and the next one offered me 58k. Rather substantial difference.

When about a year later I went to the first dealer to buy a Porsche, I mentioned to him a different dealer gave me 3k more than he offered me. He was almost ready to cry as he wanted it as his personal vehicle. "Oh, I would've come up 3k immediately." Well too late, pal. I don't play games. Should've given me your best offer outright.

It did help me get a very high trade on the Panamera I was trading at that time though. He didn't want to lose my business again.

Sasquatch, is that you? LOL. It would be a lot harder to identify your aliases if you weren't so damn predictable. Everyone around here knows you don't own a Gen 2 because you cannot afford one. But at least your parents still allow you to live in their basement. Say hi to your mom for me.

Ahhhhahaha

I’ll wait for a v8...if it ever is built. If not, I will enjoy my v6 Raptor for a long time.


20k+ trouble free miles...with a nice dose of off road travels included.

The whole has to have a V8 crowd is funny. I love the EB engine. A simple tune and you're making big HP. Would the new GT500 engine be nice, sure it would! If it comes I'll probably end up buying one, but not because it's a V8, but because it's a FI V8! I have no interest in the new 7.3L NA V8.

Back in the day (I say that like I'm old, I'm only 37) I had a 08 GT500. Loved the car. I was on a quest for as much power as I could possibly get out of that motor and the quickest 1/4mile I could get with a 6 speed. Started with a pulley and tune, then 2.9L Whipple, then 3.4L Whipple, then 4.0L Whipple, E85 Conversion, triple return style fuel pumps, built the block, Ford GT cam, raised the compression. I could go on and on! The car was a monster! It made 967WHP! Ran mid 9s @ 150s with the stock 6speed.

Wait where was I going with this... Oh yeah!

I sold that car and ended up in a GTR! A little TT V6! mid pipes, downpipes, and a tune and that thing was running bottom 10s on pump gas, and light to light it would kill anything out there. Welcome to the future!
