Saw my old SVTF for sale at local dealer - Focaljet

**ArmyFocus** · 07-16-2008, 04:31 PM

I was on my way to the barber shop the other day and passed a local used car lot that's in front of Ft. Campbell. I happened to notice a CD Silver SVTF sitting in the front of the lot and then I saw the headlights and Hofele grille and realized that it was my SVTF that I had traded in to another dealer down the road. It was kind of weird seeing it sitting there, knowing that it is a fun car and what's under the hood. It's like seeing your ex girlfriend at the mall. You know what she's got and you want it, but you've moved on to someone else, so all you can do is just look and think about the old days. Anyways, just thought I'd mention that. I may go get my hair cut this afternoon. If I do and it's still there, I may stop by just to see how much they are asking for it.

Ask them to take it for a test drive. I wonder if the charger is still on it, or did you sell that?

It's what you'd do if you bumped into your ex at the mall, right? "I know it didn't work out between us, but the sex was good... wanna have a flashback in the parking lot?"

(Oh please, like you wouldn't give that a try? You know the deal, it's a numbers game. If you don't ask, they can't say yes!)

..and get a haircut, you hippie!

**ArmyFocus** · 07-17-2008, 09:41 AM

are you telling me to get a haircut?

But I don't wanna, Sir!!

On a side note Dave, I'm very close to having my Green to Gold packet completed.

I pulled the J&S, SCT tuner and JL Audio sub/amp out. Everything else got left in.

I wonder how a dealership would know how to price a blown SVT... Probably is way overpriced. I've always heard the rule of thumb is around 15% cost of aftermarket parts. Anyone else agree with this?
