Wha? Having not done any research at all I'd assumed you'd be looking for $5-10k...
I'd do $2k for sure! -Curt Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2013 20:43:15 -0600 From: OK Don <okd...@gmail.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT - pickem-up trucks Message-ID: <CANZcij-snHwfHAkzr5EgYi87cW2b3dM4BrDpMF4auu=uqzz...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Update -- > Kaleb C.

It's relatively basic, with a few options due to advancing age, and the 5.0L V8. We expect to drive the value out of this truck, and hope that it will be last car we buy (unless I start "playing" with cars again someday). The "X Partner Plan" from our EAA membership helped seal the deal with Ford - saved ~ $2000 based on that $50/year membership. Yes - Ford financing gets another $1500 off the price, with a minimum financed of $10,000. You have to make at least four payments, but the first one can be all but $1000 of the balance. The next three will then be minimal, and carry very little interest. Haven't negotiated the trade-ins yet - the ML320 is still up for grabs. I expect to get offered near the Edmunds trade-in value of $1760 for it. Any offers higher than that? -- OK Don 2001 ML320 2012 Passat TDI DSG 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager 1957 C182A _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
