I have a loaded one, but in this instance I would pick the stock one. Most aftermarket stuff is better than the manufactures equipement. If you have to have one of the loaded options, then have it installed after market with the $1,000 dollar difference between the two vehicles.

 

Well, I'm happy to say, "I got my Magnum!!!". I decided to go with the newer one. It was actually a demo 2005 with only 3600 miles on it. I feel I got a pretty good deal compared to the other 10 that I was considering. It's Silver w/Sunroof and Electronic pkg - steering wheel hookup. There was this Black one that had the two features(U connect and Satellite) that I really wanted at this other Dealership. It didn't have a Sunroof and it had like 6500 miles on it. The Dealer just refused to work with me. He was cut and dry, "sale price is $24,650 - let's add taxes and plate - ok your final price is $26,650". That was actually the 1st one I had went and checked out so, I was like ok cause at that point I was just checking out prices. I told him I was going to check around and I would get back to him. Man, just about every other dealer I went to was willing to work with me and knock off at least a few hundred off there final price. Everytime I would find a dealer with a magnum comparable to the Black one I would run back to that first dealer and be like what's up - this dealer said they would do this and do that. No matter how many other better deals I showed him, he was just like "sale price is $24,650 - let's add taxes and plate - ok your final price is $26,650". What an *** Hole!!! I started to just work with another dealer at his dealership but I said the hell with it! Anyway, I got my Silver Magnum with everything the Black one had except for the satellite and u connect. Now, my Silver Magnum may lack the two features that I really wanted but it does have a sunroof, 6-disc CD(both of which the Black one lacks) and 3,000 less miles than the black one and it was $2000 cheaper. So, I think I did pretty good! And that one I saw with 30k miles on it, I just decided it made more sense to just pay a $1000 more to get 30k less miles. I have to add U connect(rearview mirror version)! It's a must for me. I was going to wait about a month or so to add it but I can't! See, I'm an Engineer for T-Mobile and love what I do and the technology and of course I Love my Magnum so I have to intergrate the two or should I say the three of us - just call it a Menaja Twa [sm=loveeyes.gif]

 

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds like you indeed got a nice ride. One, you did the smart thing by shopping around. Most people wouldnt have done that as its too hard to walk away from something you want right that minute. Good for you! Secondly, make sure to post us up some pictures of that sweet car!
