So when I got the taco I traded in my SVT. I knew I was going to get killed on the trade, something to the tune of $1k min. $4k would have been a good private party sale given the brakes needed work and there were odds and ends to be fixed.
They gave me $3k and I thought about it....I figured not an issue, you can take the car for $3k.
Before I delivered the car I removed the stereo (left 6 y/o Pioneer HU in the dash), european floor mats (put in old mats with holes in them), delivered the car on Focus rims with snow tires, etc. etc. Ebayed the leftover gear for about $750, and still have my orignial SVT rims doing street duty on my Fiancee's 4-banger. I even held back the spare remote and ebayed that for like $3...lol
$3k trade + $750 ebay + $250 hellride = $4000
