I suspect the dealers willingness to deal was based on it being a used vehicle. Still in December or January I'm going to buy a new pickup, my Dakota is beat. I've already informed the wife it may be a full size regular cab since it *seems* like the prices on those are quite flexable. Although I saw the other day that Toyota is making the Tacoma with a 4cyl 5spd in a 4x4. Fueleconomy.gov says 17/22, the Chevy Colorado I was considering is 16/22... Both seem to be available for about $19k. -Curt --- On Mon, 6/2/08, LarryT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: LarryT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT OT No Car Info - No ferrari content - no porsche content - no mercedes content - NFC - NPC - NMC - To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Date: Monday, June 2, 2008, 8:55 AM Curt wrote <<He's also occasionally homeless (sort of) and sometimes lives in the thing.>> That reminds me -- I'll bet RVs are having bargain basement prices along with the SUVs - that's interesting to know about your friend who offered 1/2 the asking price - that might be a winning strategy in most cases of used SUVs..

Here's a better one "Drill somewhere else, drill yesterday". You want real change in oil prices get the Fed to STOP printing money and get our elected officials to get us out of pointless wars that: A. Cost us boatloads of money B. Burn tons of fuel and C. Have our enemies in the middle east laughing all the way to the bank. Drilling in the US right now would have zero effect on the price of oil in the near term. In the long term it will cause us to use up all our oil deposits and leave us with nothing. Burn Arab oil FIRST, use domestic supplies later. Want a short term fix for high gas prices? Walk/bicycle/carpool to work, or work from home. Less gas useage will lower your expense for gas. -Curt Date: Sat, 31 May 2008 10:11:25 -0400 From: "LarryT" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [MBZ] OT OT No Car Info - No ferrari content - no porsche content - no mercedes content - NFC - NPC - NMC - To: "The FerrariList" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "911/993/996 digest" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original Hi Gang, We've all talked about this recently with the high cost of fuel - N Gingrich is collecting signatures on a Petition to urge congress to "Drill Here, Drill Now" along with other energy solutions.

It won't help -- we use far more than we have, even if we drill everywhere. Why else would Shell have gone to Saudi Arabia in 1940?

Is this for ANWR drilling? You know that is not enough to carry us for 2 years? Wouldn't we be better served keeping it as an emergency reserve. -Rolf LarryT wrote: > Hi Gang, > We've all talked about this recently with the high cost of fuel - N Gingrich > is collecting signatures on a Petition to urge congress to "Drill Here, > Drill Now" along with other energy solutions. > > If you'd like to participate, please visit http://www.americansolutions.com > > Thanks for your time - > Larry T > > > ___ > http://www.okiebenz.com > For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ > For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
