Actually I am looking into the option of digital cameras right now, but I already have the film developed. I paid 34 for the truck because I had a friend that works there and gave me list plus 500. I at least got a break on that. Actually tho the value of the truck as is now I could still sell it and make even or maybe even a small amount on it without the system in it. No way would I lose out on 10g's in equipment. Charging system has already been upgraded so no worries there. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Scanner should be in tonight or so and pics will be up shortly with any luck.

Well, I don't mean to bust your bubble, but I work in car sales...so let's see how good of a deal you really got:

First off, if you paid LIST plus $500, that means you paid $500 over MSRP. Maybe you meant you paid $500 over invoice. If that is what you think, let's see.

You said it was a limited so I am going to assume it is a 2wd Explorer Limited. And let's even assume you got the extra options :

Engine

4.6L 8 Cylinder 239 hp Gas

Transmission

Transmission, 5 Speed Electronically Controlled Automatic OD

Convenience

Locks, Power Door

Windows, Power

Window, Driver Side Express Down

Light, Rear Map/Reading

Cargo Cover

Retained Accessory Power

Interior

Console, Mini Overhead

Safety

Mirrors, Dual Power

Air Bags, Side Curtain

Exterior

Moonroof, Power

Running Boards

I'll bet you didn't get all those but EVEN IF you did get those, here is the price break down:

Charge Type: Invoice: MSRP:

Base Price $29,535.00 $32,545.00

Destination Charge $625.00 $625.00

Total Options $2,169.00 $2,555.00

Total* $32,329.00 $35,725.00

So you see, if you paid $34 for it, you didn't get that great of a deal, even if you got all those options. Now then, once you bought the vehicle, you now have a used vehicle and NO ONE is going to pay you the same or more than you paid for it. It depreciated the day you took it off the lot, at least 15%. Now that Ford just got hit with more recalls on tires, it's going to get even worse. Here is what your vehicle is worth now, and remember, no one pays book value, everyone wants to pay less than book.

Engine: V8 4.6 Liter

*****: Automatic

Drive: 2 Wheel Drive

Equipment

Limited

Air Conditioning

Rear Air

Power Steering

Power Windows

Power Door Locks

Tilt Wheel

Cruise Control

AM/FM Stereo

Cassette

Compact Disc

Dual Front Air Bags

ABS (4-Wheel)

Leather

Power Seat

Sliding Sun Roof

Roof Rack

Privacy Glass

Retail Value $29,335

And no one is going to pay you even close to $10g extra for your equipment....a bank won't finance that much over allowance and there is only a very few people that want that much stuff. Upgrading your charging system is well and fine, but read the fine print on your warranty and you will see that it will not cover problems if you modify or change the stock charging system.

I am not trying to bust your bubble here....just trying to shed some light and maybe enlighten you on some facts. Don't hate me for education. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Peace...(yeah, right!)

The amp was purchased from the shop owner who was sponsered by soundstream, it was modified for competition.

Modified? Then it isn't 500 watts, if that was the case. And I don't care who he was sponsored by, that is irrelevent. I don't even think you can modify a SS amp much more than it is already built for, but I'm not an electronic tech.

Peace...(yeah, right!)

Who cares how much value it lost when I drove it off the lot? I am not plannign on selling it for a LONG while at least 3-4yrs. By the way... do a dble check on your figures. I got the 4wd Limited not the 2wd which tacks on just enough to make the invoice $33,945. As for facts and educating me and shedding light? I already bought the truck so it woulda been too little too late for the info tho if accurate would have been nice ot know. Thanks for taking the time and effort into checkin that out for me.

Depends what kind of club. If it's a car club, then I'll have to pass. But if it's something dealing with stereo and going to comps, etc.. then e-mail me.
