144k MSRP and you offer 35k maybe 40k...i will keep you on the short list, since jeffro backed it up with a 32k bid:bunny:
You could ask that guy in spring right there off of 45 that has 2 of them on his lot for the last 6 months for a buy bid. I really think that they are ugly personally, but like Bigandy, I am sure it could be sold for 50K just so you could get rid of it. |
