Oh, I forgot, already bought locking lug nuts for mine.

My nuts don't lock up either. All I got was a tank of 92 octane and 30 miles on the odometer.

What04,
I asked this on another post, but it got buried. How much did it cost you to trade? How many miles did you have on your 00? I am thinking of trading and would like to get an idea what dealers are asking. You can email me if you don't want to post here.
Thanks Brian

Hey Brian,

I e-mailed you this morning around 7:15. Guess you didn't get it.

I have a lease and about 11,500 miles. I'm paying out $2000 and $40.00 more per month to get rid of the '00. Remember this is on a $42000 list vehicle in CDN dolloars.

Thanks, No I didn't get it, but appreciate you getting back to me. I posted to a dealer that came into SVTperformance and he wanted $8000 to trade and my truck only has 3700 miles. Nothing wrong with my truck, just getting it the way I want it. I told him I wasn't interested, he's going to see what he can do. I'm not holding my breath.
Thanks again Brian

Those locking nuts are really a tactical sales ploy to sway the other SVT dealers potential customers to them.I can hear the sales pitch now..."yes we sell $1000 above MSRP, but we are the only dealer in town that gives you these beautiful chrome locking lugs....but only if you act now!!
