No way am I tired of it. Just wouldn't mind owning a SS with 10k miles on it. They wont go any lower on the price. They have had lots of interest already and someone will pay what they are asking.

Anyway, if I can get a loan other than the capital one loan, and have the loan just in my name, is there anyway to get my Mom's name on the title so I can get insurance through her?

I don't if I read it right, but you're saying they gave u $9,500 for your Z n dropped the price on the SS from $16,900 to $12,000? How's that? $9,500+$12,000=$21,500, they only gave u $4,900 for your Z, cause $4,900+$12,000=$16,900.

Uh that doesnt work to often when its a type of car that people are willing to pay for, and if you look at lower mile cars in different areas of the Us some are still going for alot

Well I thought I would throw this back up top. I went in again and talked to the dealership. Little did I know that even though the car may be registered in my name I can still be on my Mom's insurance policy since my permanent address is the same as hers. Also, after tax, title, and license the price came to less than I thought as well. So I would be financing 11k at the most and that would put my payments about $225 a month which would be nice.

I ended up getting the car for 18.8k. A little more than I wanted to pay but the car is clean, very low miles, and at the dealership in my home town. Picked it up last night and go in to finalize the paperwork today. I will post some pics later. Did I do alright?
