About ready to give up on the 08

I ordered an 08 the first day they were available to order..The car has been built since May 26..here we are June 16 and no car. The 08 model year will be only about 45 days long..the 09 are set to be produced at the end of July..The 08 sounds like a very poor investment. Seems like the 09 will be a much better car..The dealer says he can order me a 09,says he can sell the 08 easily...comments>?

Re: About ready to give up on the 08

Do you care about being the first kid on the block to get one?

Is your deal at sticker?

2009's are going up $2,000.....Not that 2k is a huge difference when the price is 42k!

I know that having a true limited slip rear was worth changing my order to an 09.

Re: About ready to give up on the 08

09 has the 6-speed option, don't forget


08 - if the 08 has a low # - say 112/6400 and he's at sticker, it good be worth more down the line.

get one of these bad boys.. 0-60in 3.3 seconds...
The T-REX is available in 4 colors with assorted trim. Red, yellow, blue or black, whatever the color, the T-REX has a high visibility and will attract attention. The interior trim is matched to the exterior color with subtle detailing. A chrome option adds brilliance to this already outstanding vehicle.

I wish mine would show that quick. Mine has been on a Choo Choo for a week now. I think the floods have something to do with that.
