[QUOTE="B3 Brown, post: 941416, member: 69114"] Hi Derek: Sorry to hear about the interior of the 2008 Adrenalin - you don't paint a pretty picture! I often guage the 'hidden' maintenance of a vehicle by its interior conditon. I'd be very skeptical of a car this new with an interior the way you describe? I just traded my '08 XLT 4X4 in July with 38,000 miles and the interior was perfect! No stains anywhere (and I had the super light tan cloth), no odors, the leather steering wheel still had the new 'dull' shine - all just to prove that at 42,000 miles these trucks should NOT look this way! Any chance you can pay a reputable used car dealer with a wholesaler's license to take you to an auto auction? Might be a way to get a nice used 09/10 for much, much less than used retail? Have you tried to sell your Fusion privately? Maybe you could easily get $20K rather than the $17.5K offered? There is often a way to work this out without adding all of your negative equity into a new loan which in essence comes back to haunt you several years from now when trading again. The way I always see it "Pay now or Pay Later", that's why I am so damn stubborn in trying to reach my expectations when trading/buying a car! Regards, B3 [/QUOTE]
