Default Picking up my first EM2 tomorrow.

Sup guys. So yeah, I was actually planning on picking up another EK, but I was having a hard time finding financing on such a low year, high mileage vehicle. So I thought change wouldn't be bad for once and opted to get an 02 silver ex coupe at the dealership I work at. Its got 74,500 miles about. I tried to get it before it hit "safety inspection" to try to save myself 350 bucks, but unfortunately I acted too late.

I work at a dodge dealership and this was taken in on a trade. We took it in for 7600, they tacked on 350 cuz it went through inspection, then 750 for their profit (*****) luckily it didn't get detailed yet so i saved myself another couple hundred there so i could do it myself. They added the cost of a new battery as well. I haven't signed the paperwork (will be tomorrow) so is there anything you guys know about EM2s that usually go bad that I should be aware of just incase I need it to be fixed.

So all in all i'm financing like 9600 bucks after tax, new tabs, licensing and all that **** and putting 800 down. Which isn't a jaw dropping deal or anything, but a decent one. Proud to be a part of the team =P

I also have been considering rolling the cost of lowjack into the loan, but then Im reading some reviews on here of people saying they are ****....

congrats on the car bro

i havent really heard of 7th gens really getting jacked, actually the dealership said it wasnt worth getting lojack because the fact that our keys are encrypted and whatnot ... just your basic alarm would do fine ... but then again it is your choice
