Gas is killing me now that I have to bring my baby 50 minutes out of my commute, for day care, one way.
I'm tired of throwing money away trading. I'm tired of the fuel cost on a tight budget. Kids are 4 times more expensive than I planned!
The truck is mint. It will be a year old in Sept.
Pictures are in my folder. I've included a window sticker link.
Additional:
Steeda Underdrive Pulley Kit 701-0005A
Zabteck Modified Throttle Body V8 4.6L
SOS Ignition Coil Set 31850
K&N 57-2573 FIPK
Magnaflow 14236 Exhaust
DMH E-Cutout
SCT Xcal3 ECM & TCM Tune (87 and 93 Octane) By Unleashed
Total Retail Value: $2,200. Obviously I didn't pay that so I'll deal on them. I wouldn't mind keeping the SCT X3 for the Lightning.
These mods make a SIGNIFICANT difference over stock. I mean significant! I don't have any dyno numbers but you will feel it if you drive it.
NADA Clean Retail: $35,650
Clean Trade-in: $31,500
Dealership Actual Cash Value (ACV) $29,500. This is a dealer's true cost to take my truck in on trade. Any amount more than this comes out of their vehicle profit margin.
Make me a realistic offer.
My plan is to replace it with a Sportage and buy a cheap Lightning to satisfy my ego.
If no one bites I'll be happy to just keep my Adrenalin and lease a FWD Kia Soul to ease the bite of the added mileage and increased fuel cost.
