Hey folks, just wanted to ask some questions (opinions actually) about my thoughts on scoring another MM. This one is black and has 6000 miles. A bit steep on the price, but within the price guides on the internet bluebook.

I have spoken with the dealer and he tells me it was a trade in by an older man who wanted to get a truck due to his arthritis...whatever...but it does only have about 6K miles and the black would be an awesome addtion to my silver one. (that and I can spread the miles over both!!)

Anyways, what you folks think?

Just for thought (and maybe peace of mind)

Pm me the VIN to see if there is any repair history.

I like black and silver!
 
Looks nice. The interior contrast is pretty cool.
Buy it.

Mine "came in off lease early from an eighty year old couple" . Apparently only old folks buy these cars. I don't know if these stories are true, or just standard salesman BS job.
:laugh:
 
It was the story that I got.
Old man. Had a backbrace strapped to the seat. Car was too much for him.

I believe them though. There were two funeral visit cards for two different people.

Who knows... maybe it was only old folks... maybe that's why only 11,000 were sold. The whole marketing/confused/uneducated deal.
 
Well, I spoke some more to the dealer. Turns out there is the 6cd changer and a moon roof that was not in the ad. also, the OASIS report show more work on it than I have done to mine but it is all cosmetic stuff (THANKS RoyLPita!!!).

I am gearing up for it, trying to convince my sister to come look at it today. If there is anyone here on the board who is close to Glendale....I would really like a MM fanatic look at it for me rather than my mini-van driving sister (though she does own and drive a harley so I'll listen to her)

Any takers???

thanks, curt
 
Salesman said that mine was owned by a little old lady from Passadena.
Now is that an original line or what? ;)
 
:cool: Nice addition to the family. Agree that it might be a little high on the price side, but all in all a nice addition. Mine was also owned by an older couple who traded it because it was too much car for the old guy. His loss..my gain!
 
Hey guys,


I am also on the fence about buying a local DTR-MM, car has 14 thousand miles, one owner trade (on a new GTO?)................the dealer is asking 25,900.

The car has no issues that I know of, ran a carfax............

It's in very nice condition, like new.

I am considering making an offer of 22,500.00. Would you guys consider this a good deal for this 04'??

thanks for any input!!

Welcome aboard, Mike.

I can run a OASIS report on your future(?) purchase. Let me know.

Thank you so much!! I appreciate the welcome and I really look forward to MM ownership as well as being a part of this community.

Thanks again Roy!!

hah, hah.

I got the "too much power for the older gentleman, so he traded it in" story too.

By the responses here, that must be taught in used MM Sales 101.

Anybody get the email for the new Dodge Charger SRT8?

Looks incredible.

In a few years, hopefully I can get the same story with one of those.
 
Well I guess I have fallen off into the deep end. I got the loan approved today and will be collecting my black 04 MM soon enough!!

What am I going to do with both? I guess I will have to follow my heart and make one a real monster...just need a few more months to get started on one of the supercharger kits. Other than that, I guess I will be needing another spot to park my car in!!

I was crossing my fingers for that Trilogy raffle ticket to pay off, but at least I will have an easier time when (if the ship is in port) I go to the motor city for our "little" get together.

Thanks guys for the constructive comments and help!!
