Knock! Knock!....

............I did it!!



How you doin?


You know how it is driving the same "truck" all the time. Had to trade her in. The accident was all cosmetic and was not really the reason but it didn't help. Found this baby 160 miles away in Clinton Il. Thanks again Darin and Aderson Ford. 2003 DSG. Yeah baby. I'm in love again and wouldn't know I picked her up 2 weeks ago tomorrow. Valentine's Day.

Let the modding begin.





FTVB installed yesterday. Don't worry I'm taking it easy on her. Occasionally my cane hits the gas pedal a little though.

DSG is definitely the fastest color, or something.

CONGRATS JJ
She's Beeeeeeeeeautiful

Did you still owe $ on the 2K ???
Meaning, has anyone gone back to Ford and traded one
in that they still owed a ton on,
and was Ford willing to take it back,
and hook a brother up with a newer Mod YR ?
FOR A FEE OF COURSE

BEST OF LOOK BRO

Yeah all performance mods were removed from slvr 2k and re-installed on DSG 03 except for headers, mid-pipes and predator. Removed but not re-installed. I've been busy enough these past few weeks, dealing with insurance company, body shop, car rental, removing mods and re-installing stock parts. Besides I'm waiting for a replacement from Bassani.


Didn't notice this on the install 6 months ago but thought I heard a leak.

Owed $7600 on the 2k. Got $16500 trade in with 46k miles. Put $8900 toward $29381 for an 03 with 13 miles and got 4% for 60 months. Lowered my payment by $110 a month. I'm happy...and tired. Sleepy time.

So you bought your silver 2k (approx. feb 00) for 32K financed 26K @ 60 months @ 7% ..... made payments for est. 48 months totaling 24,672 and then paid 7,600 , totaling 32,272.

8,900 back so the bank cost to drive the silver L 48 months is 23,372
+
29381 for the DSG
=
52,753 before interest .....and one gray lightning to show for it?

fuel,taxes, mods,tires, service, insurance..est. total 100K...my god man ....you are one rich dude

Thanks JJ

AND BEST OF LUCK

You drove your 2K for 4yr's and 50,000 miles, still got 16.5 for it, and get to drive a brand new Lightning for a mere 13K more, I'd take that deal ANYDAY
Just the piece of mind of having the better block, threads in the head, better head gaskets, 0 miles and a new tranny, is WELL WORTH THAT ALONE
