Re: Your next purchase prediction?
Im pretty sure 03 was (I got out of the business in 01 and went back last year) I have to say, I hear a lot of bad stuff about the 6.0L and im going to be honest and say I am not a diesel fan one bit. But the few 6.0L I have seen in my shop have been very clean high mileage trucks with not a lot of repair records on them. Ive had 2 in the last 4 months with over 240-250k on them. The owners both bring it in for the regular maintenance and do all of the required scheduled maintenance needed. just saying...
Oh yeah, that one looks pretty nice.

Re: Your next purchase prediction?
I think I mentioned I bought the Subaru Limited Sedan. It was an "ok" car, but was not getting the mileage I needed. I think since the PO did not drive it but 3 miles a day, the motor was gummed up a bit. So I sold it for what I had in it and bought a 2000 Ford Focus. It gets little better mileage, but not as great as I had hoped. However, I just replaced the rear wheel bearing that was growling pretty bad, so hopefully that helps the MPG's a bit. I'll get it all fixed up in time to sell it before we go to Germany!
CC - the WRX looks cool. Plus white is a "sleeper" color. The blue ones grab a lot of attention, especially from the 5.0!

Re: Your next purchase prediction?
CC, I recently picked up a WRX as well. Mine is kind of a beater, but at least I won't feel bad if I ever get it airborne. I've missed powerslides...nothing like looking out your passenger's side window to see where you're going. That looks like a seriously nice ride.
