I've learned this lesson - A Driver Lesson About Life....don't move to make yourself happy. Usually, whatever troubles someone goes with them. You can move because you like the climate more, you like the price of housing more, you want to be closer to family or some other reason, but, moving won't make an unhappy person into a happy person very often. And, happy is maybe a bit much....conted person would be more accurate.

The CPO Challenger has been on the dealer's lot since July 24th. Since that time the price has dropped from $34,440 to $28,500. I'm thinking there is probably little if any profit left in the sled(based on auction sales and asking prices for similar cars). My Mazda has 147,000 miles on it, and I'm pretty sure that @$5,000 is all the money. So, I'm going to shake the tree and see if anything falls out: $27,000-$5,000= $22,000. With 6% sales tax I'm at $23,320- make it $23,500 OTD.
I might go up a little, but not much; they need to move that car, but I don't have to bu the SRT. With winter well and truly here -not to mention the holidays- I don't see a big V8 musclecar with three pedals and summer max performance tires becoming any easier to move.
Thoughts?

I don't see them perceiving any value in your Mazda with that milage. It could just be my high miles phobia but I think they would send it right to the auction. It wouldn't sell any better on their lot than the Challenger. Any chance of selling it privately?
But I think you're right that they must be desperate to sell that Challenger quickly so what have you got to lose?

"I used to be cool".
Not much room for them to discount the Challenger, but you can ask....might want to wait until the last day of the month.

Actually, that is a good rule of life too. You might get some enjoyment from driving a new car, but it won't magically make you a new and different person.

The V6 is just not my kind of car, but it is perfect for the demographic it is aimed at. As for me, if I had the money and garage space I'd buy an SRT just to take to cruise nights and for longer trips with two passengers.

I could use one of those bumper stickers. I'm only 63 (that'll change in January) but I think I have special qualifications.
Too late for you GG!
Ah, your probably the exception to the rule anyway.

I probably just missed it, but I don't remember any serious conversation about cell phones and carriers with all the experts we have here. Any strong feelings on the sub. of which phone is best and which carrier, etc?

For networks you can't beat Verizon. It has its own issues but no one else has a network like they do.
rb - I tried waiting out for the price to drop on that Miata and offered what the car was actually worth but he found someone to pay the reduced ridiculous price.
The screen is much larger and the type (font) sizes are much bigger. I have several books already downloaded as well.
The he ringer is much louder than the 4 S so I can hear a phone call coming in even when the phone is in my pocket. It handles LTE and 4G high speed data. The processor is 3 times faster than the 4 S was.
The phone is definitely a major improvement over previous iPhones. Apple Care is very responsive to requests for assistance. I took out an additional year for extended warranty (Apple Care) for an additional $100.
I I have been with AT&T, Verizon, and several other carriers which used to cost me over $100 a month for limited data and unlimited calling and texting. I am now with TMobile. Unlimited calling, texting and 2 gigs of LTE data and after that, unlimited slower data once the high speed 2 Gigs are used up. All for $62 a month which includes all taxes.
I have not experienced the dropped calls I used to experience with the other carriers.
I recommend the new iPhone 6. It cost me $649 for the phone.

But...that's me. I like it better than the Samsung Android it replaced.
We use T-Mobile and have no complaints really. Had Verizon before and they were fine too.
Sprint has terrible coverage around me. So, that may be different in your burg. I've heard good and bad regarding TMobile. The rest, I'm not that familiar with except for Verizon. No dropped calls. I have a 2 GB plan, and they throw in an extra 1 GB as a "gimme". No dropped calls. No slow data. Their customer service people are efficient, helpful, and friendly. Can't ask for more than that.
BTW...I like the way Cadillac DUE has implemented SIRI on my iPhone. I press the "voice assistant button and hold it for 3 seconds and SSIRI comes on (vs CUE lady if I only hold the button for 1 second). I can say..."Siri, play Led Zepelin" and my iPhone plays all of my Led. I say "play NPR podcast" and it does. I hit the Pandora button on the touchscreen, and Pandora plays, with my phone in my pocket. Nifty!!!!!
We had Sprint for ... probably a decade or more. It was fine most of the time, but when I moved to an even more rural area, forget it. Coverage was pretty terrible and, worst of all, no signal at my house. Switched to AT&T and have had fantastic service, including manhattan, so not sure what was up with Fezo's caregiver's phone. Only place so far we didn't have a signal was the middle of the Nevada desert. Go figure.
What really got my attention was when AT&T, with no prompting from me, changed me to a better plan when it became available with more data for less money.

It's pretty handy using the iPad as a hotspot and being able to log onto Edmunds and work while my wife drives me around. I can understand why making your car a hotspot would be a selling point to some people.
(bummer about the Miata, @Fezo).

Verizon has excellent coverage. I am constantly outperforming my friends with ATT and T-Mobile when we all reach to make a call in some out of the way place. I always win.
I shopped the BIG phones "Phablets" and found them too awkward for one-handed use.
Right now Sprint looks to have the best family plan for my wife and me, but I am a little leery of their coverage area and customer service, etc. Just doing due diligence.

T-Mobile around here is so bad. I was travelling with a manager recently and he basically gave up and used my phone.

But the real reason I always ended up with weird colors and weird option packages in some vehicles was because at the end of every month, dealers were always given additional allocations of trucks and cars that we always opted to take - but those were the "left-overs" or odd lot vehicles that had crazy option and color combinations.
My guess is that the dealer had accepted the truck(s) as part of an addendum allocation at the end of the year.
