Default New Tool Box

Well I borke down and bought a new tool box, the Matco Custom American Muscle edition. Then while Chip Foose was here for the Year One Experience he drew a hot rod on it and autographed it for me.

Thanks, it cost $8800.00 but he gave me $4000.00 for my old box so it didn't hurt as bad.

that box is sweet! My Matco sales guy had a 2 bay version of yours (without the Foose drawing- that is waaaay badass!) It looks so nice, I almost got it but I was able to haggle a better price on a normal box

Thanks.
That's funny, the opposite happened with me, on the regular version of the same box he would only give a $2000.00 trade-in on my box. With this one I walked on the truck and saw and asked what he could do and he gave me a $4000 trade in on my Mac box. The other reason I grabbed it when I did was they were offering 9.9% intrest for next few weeks, that ended up saving me another $1100.00.

yeah I got the same financing, but only had a crappy Craftsman box to trade in- all of $200, and he gave me a killer price on the regular box, but couldn't budge on the one like yours (saw it again today when he stopped by and its still badass )

thats cool that he did that to your Matco Box cause doesnt he have his own box desing with MAC? someone else might not have wanted to sign that.

Yeah, I think he does have a MAC box out. When he did it I was suprised because it's a Matco.
Our Snap-On guy won't do tool boxes on a truck account and Snap On's interest is 16%.
