why didnt you take off the FSport before selling?

Nice choice. I was looking for the exact same things as you but hard to find. What did you end up paying? There is an 08 350 at my local dealer but the website doesnt say whats in it, trying to get a feel for the price.

I didn't have the original parts so I couldn't take the f-sport stuff off
I ended up paying 36k for the 350 and the sticker was 47k. Great deal in my opinion because it came with all the upgrades.

Tell them to take it off the brand new 350! :P. That would have saved you 1k in exhaust and 450 in intake. It is not like they give you extra because of the upgrades on your old car.

You probably ended up paying more for all those cars in depreciation and interest than it would have been just to get a 350 from the beginning.

How is it you manage to drop the cash for all the parts but not on the car note? You must have signed some sort of terrible lease I'm guessing. The depreciation is so low on this car that unless you are like me and have an '06 the payment should be pretty reasonable. (However, my car *should* be worth $10k more than the buyout price which comes up in May next year).

I leased the 07 350 for a couple of months and that was it. I'll never lease again.

I'm able to drop cash onto the parts now because of my job. At the time I purchased the 06 250 I wasn't making as much.
