Well it happened---------

[rickaren]

Great News! What is funny is there is some other guy that just bought a Chrysler product because he couldn't get a deal from his Chevy dealership! Ha Ha! It does happen and at least you didn't go the foreign route. I never researched your issues but since it was your Wife's truck/car I can understand. My Wife has a Ford Eddie Bauer SUV Explorer fully loaded 3 seat, V8, (her second one) and likes my Nitro, but would not buy one for herself. I did have to add satellite radio and blue-tooth after she saw and used it on my R/T.

I ended up with a late 07 R/T after trying to buy one seven months earlier after driving one. Dealer could not order what I wanted then so I was waiting on a 08. Never saw many issues with Nitro R/Ts here or other Forms, but I guess you had the one.

Guess you took my advice on that Corvette! Best of Luck in the future and glad you and your Wife are speaking again. Thanks for sharing your experiences here and we will all miss you here @ www.Dodge-Nitro.com

Good to hear it all worked out.

And a big +1 on the "glad you bought American"

Sometimes a bad experience can end on a good note.

Enjoy the Vette.

I did this professional.... Many of these cars appeared in various Mags. Like Hot Rod and Car Craft and various others.....I still mfg. accessories for the Chevy SSR.......I have bought and sold car all my life....so I do have a little experience.......I knew what to expect, going in, in trying to trade this thing........I have met a lot of people here in south central florida who made the same mistake we did......which was buying the Nitro......They are now sitting on used car lots all over down here....They bit bullitt and got rid of them , some in as little as a month after buying them.....My Dodge dealer has new Nitro's sitting all over his lot...and say's he can't sell them......and he wouldn't even make an offer to her to trade the Nitro for a new Chrysler 300 C...........He didn't want another one on the lot.......He did'nt want to insult my wife by how little he could offer........The Lemon Law paperwork is here on my desk..........And we'll be proceeding with it........I just wanted to let people know if you buy one and don't like it .......Your stuck.........Sorry for the other rambling.........But I wanted you to know I was not some snot- nose young (Dude), I figured that 53 year's experience building, racing, showing, buying and sell various types of cars,should account for something.........Well maybe not......So many young pup's , these day's,seem to think experience doesn't count for anything anymore.................So be it......It's their loss, Wolfie

Wolf ..Like you I am no kid myself .In fact I have 4 years of maturity on you. Also like you I have owned many cars and trucks ,my Nitro being my 45th vehicle. Not to mention the 15 trucks I put on the street 5 days per week. I wish you all the luck in this world with your new G M products . But my experience with GM is best explained in this manner .90% of all GM products made after 1995 are still on the road .The other 10% made it home .
