If I can squeeze another 2k out of them between the trade and sticker on the STi I may buy it tomorrow.
Sounds good

All that being said ....OP should go try out those K20 cars they're not the fastest out there but they have some kind of special magic in them.

Shift330, your car looks really good.I'm sure that you will enjoy the SRT-4 and make it nice at the same time. Divorces are not easy and your car might be some kind of relief during these hard times. You'll bounce back and will be back stronger in a year or so.
Yeah, thanks. I don't really have to get rid of the car I just like saving $ but if I go for the STi instead I'll be right where I am now payment wise, but with only 16k miles instead of 64k. Divorce agreements are all worked out and I get anything I want because I have proof she was cheating and she know's she'll get kicked out of the Air Force if I turn the stuff into her chain of command so it's not really to bad other than child custody crap. But should all be over mid-Aug.

I don't think it will happen. Usually if they offer more for trade it means they won't budge on the car price, or if they knock off the car price they won't do more for trade. It's a BS game...

Better get rid of the car anyways so you cut ties with the past and move on.

I'm not eager to get hosed and they know it. They were drooling over my car and I know I can get more out of it.

Yeah getting hosed sucks, especially if the waters cold and you don't have your windows rolled up.
