Fast forward to a couple weeks ago, we decided to let the truck go at my remorse. Definitely loved the truck, but there were a few safety issues that, despite their sincere efforts, the dealer just could not resolve. Toss into the mix our first child on the way, and the truck (even without its additional problems) was quickly becoming a safety nightmare. Figured we'd give CarMax a shot at buying it. Turns out owning the truck for ~8 months and nearly 9k miles only cost me about $2.5k (excluding taxes, but we "traded" it in on the vehicle below and "negated" the taxes on it).
Bottom line, we got a higher price from CarMax than we could have gotten selling it privately PLUS we got the tax break by trading it in.
I just bought a low mile Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4 for my wife with Bank of America. Best rates I could find (much less than credit unions even) with tier 1 credit. Real simple process with a lower rate than I got on my brand new Rubicon just eight months prior (  ).
Best news is that with the money saved, I've been given the green light to buy an M3/4/5  |
What were the safety concerns?
