#1 rule for me...NEVER pay "additional dealer markup". Every high demand car becomes not such a high demand car as time passes. Cindy & I once checked out the Dodge Manum. First dealership we stopped at had $2K additional markup tacked on. We walked...today, about a year later, the lots are full of them, they are being discounted like crazy. We decided to keep the old Ford Ranger. We can always buy a new car, and the last time I checked, having $40K in a money market earmarked for that purpose wasn't against the law. Well, actually, it's $40K plus interest now, a year later...I read the mags every month, and there is absolutely nothing new out there that turns my crank. Not in that price range anyway. All are yawners...
