So did Eugene get retired...?
opcorn:
By me, yeah... as difficult as it is to do (and trust me, it IS). But - I do have a few people in the KJ community that have expressed interest in purchasing it. A couple people want to drive it, a couple said something about parting it. I won't part it - I don't want to see that happen, particularly in my driveway. I'm so stupidly attached to the thing that I'll probably be in tears when it goes. :blah: So while I'm sad that I'll be sending Eugene along, I'm hopeful that someone in the community will take it. It's been well cared for, it's still running strong... but it's not without some issues.
That said... it's gotten to the point where I travel so much now that I need the MPG jump. The MK has equivalent (if not a bit more) interior space, which is good. Wanted something low miles, and with a warranty if possible. And I wanted something that I could still modify - because I simply can't leave anything stock.
It was between the Patriot and the Renegade. I don't fully buy into the Renegade's appearance yet... and I've always liked the look of the Patriot... and they have more history are less expensive.
I got a pretty nice deal on it. It was a demo or dealer vehicle - it had 1400 miles on it. So I got a discount for that. They had a discount for buying on the holiday (yesterday). I also qualified for a handful of other cash back offers and discounts, and the interest rate is low... it was something that I really didn't want to pass up. It has anywhere between 3-5 years of warranty on it, depending on the system in question... which will keep us out of the driveway with it for awhile. But I do anticipate that we'll start building it by this fall or next spring, at the latest. For now, I'm just going to drive it.
The MK is getting paint, underbody, and interior protectant today/tomorrow... so they teased me by sending me home in this today. :happy175:
