I go in and talk with a sales person and give him my objective and what I am looking for. 0 down and 850 a month for 72 months (thats financing right at 50k). They go and run numbers. Proceed to tell me that both the Cobra and Lightning TOGETHER ARE WORTH $11K. Low trade in for the Lightning was $9,775. Low for the car was $14,775. Clearly this must be some mistake. How did I go from being 3-4k upside down to 16k upside down? Told the salesman he was crazy and needed to go try that again. AFter about an hour going thru their BS ring the absolute best they could come up with is $6k down and $1200 a month (thats financing $70k AFTER the 6k down). So the $47k car turned into a $76k car. Walked out and am working a deal with San Tan Ford on a Silver 09 GT500 right now. Things are looking much better.
Sorry for the length
