Thanks for all of the support, guys. I made a deal yesterday for $45,000. Believe it or not, this was about $2,000 more than 5-6 dealerships that I spoke with in the surrounding area were offering. The dealer buyout was $50,000, so I lost the $5,000 plus the money I had in the accessories.
They did admit that the lift was a big part of the decision, as they didn't want to take a chance with it due to warranty issues, etc.
No laughing, but I traded for a Scion xB. I needed something cheap right now that I can still haul stuff around in while I'm having my new home built in the Tampa area. It just fit the bill as far as my needs right now and I won't take a huge hit on the depreciation.
Tim,
Yes, the Viper is also for sale, unfortunately.
The bright side is I should be able to recover in a year or two after the house is built, and I hope to have another H2 (or Viper) at that time, if things continue as they have been lately.
Best Regards,
