and?

I like that. Black is nice and all, but I wish another color had been available. My EL looks way too much like a gangsta ride

very nice. You should look up Welfare Wagon. He bought a White 07 Limited that has been tricked out. The white has lots of "good looking" potential

I picked it up from the dealer yesterday. I'll drive it all weekend and go back on Monday to see what they can do for me numbers wise. This has been on their lot for quite some time and they are asking well over KBB and NADA value. I'll just wait and see what they say on Monday....I like the vehicle, but if they can't come close to my requested figure, I'll walk.

I dropped the EL off this morning and they wouldn't budge from their $37K asking price. I said good luck with the sale and walked out. I went there to test an '06 EB that was well within my budget. Someone supposedly put a deposit on it earlier that day so they gave me the '07 and said if I was interested, they'd drop the price and give me top $ for my truck to get my payments to where I wanted. They didn't give at all, so I left and am now driving an '07 Limited from a different dealership, not an EL, but it's $11K less and has less miles. I like the EL, but I don't think I really NEED the extra space. I just want it and it looks better than the regular version( to me).

$37k is alot for a 3yr model old vehicle

That's almost what i paid for my brand new 2008 EL back in April. Limited with all the options but Nav & 4x4


Kinda bull**** IMO. That EL is worth may $29k...and that would be in top condition and low mileage. Do they realize the 2010 models are on the lots?

that is an awesome color. I love reddish colors...and that would rock. Almost be a match for my Burnt Orange leather inserts on the seats

I finally got into an Expy, '07 EB, loaded minus NAV and power fold mirrors. The dealership made me a deal I couldn't refuse, $17,500 for my truck and I'm paying less a month for the Expy.

Let the modding begin!!!! Up first, a programmer and new floor mats since the factory ones are shot.

The autotrader ad photo. I'm getting used to it, but it is definitely a different ride compared to my F150. I'm used to a little better throttle response with the programmer in the truck.

I really want to add power fold mirrors and hope to do so before winter...it will be easier to get into my very small 2 car garage. I've been hunting around for someone that has done something like this to the '07 and up body and I'm not having much luck. It might be something I just have to dive into and see if I can get it to work. I'd love it to be as easy as simply getting the right mirrors and plug-n-play, but is it ever that easy? I may have to spend some time at the service counter.
