and the 2k down i put in on signing covered my upside down part; so no interest paid on that. believe me, i knew what i was doing when i walked away from 6 hours at the dealership the first day that i was there. we started at 28k on the camaro, 13k down and 10k markup on the shelby.

3 weeks later when i walked back in, i had them to 33,100 on the camaro, 2k down, and 3k markup. i personally believe in paying a markup in some situations, so in the end; i was the one playing their emotions.
as you are aware,you are dealing with a "depreciating" asset,and you still lost money,regardless of how you 'sugar coat" it!..at least you are happy with the car!..the only way you win in the car game is to buy a "piece of s88t" for very 'short" money,fix it up,and run it until it falls apart!..ANY other way is generally considered financial suicide!
