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:

Go ahead and put it on your lot so it can collect dust like the oher elevnty of them that are sitting on used car lots right now.

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.
