Did you say something about selling it for more than you paid? if so - dump it and pick up another (newer!)

well i paid 22900 and im pretty sure i can get more for it since i got a brand new engine. When i was shopping for lightnings, this one dealer was selling a 2000 lightning for 28888 and would not lower the price even tho we were going to pay cash. so i think i can at least get like 25 i think
well thanks

Ahhh There is ALLWAYS a reason that a particular car/truck is sold for less than others like it in that particular area. I've have past experience's on this subject.

Most of the time in Life you get exactly what you pay for.

It pained me greatly to pay $29k for my new one as I've never spent over $16k for a car before in my life. But after seeing 1-2 year old used ones still under warrenty sell for widely varying prices ($21k - $28k). And reading online about people having trannys and motors go at very low milages? I just bit the bullit and PAID.

(Since I tend to drive like a grandpa on his way to the barber shop)
Now I know exactly what I have, where it's been, and never have to "worry" about what I bought being messed up by the previous owner/owners.
.
Who knows? Maybe it'll last for 150K with no problems or blow up on the way home tonight? But at least It's now under my control from the first day and I've got a really good fighting chance at a long life.

WOT
