(I know, never going to happen... oh well just have to keep making the cash).
the fact that the Ion is not made anymore really hit us hard. I saw that when I traded mine in 2 weeks ago. I was trying to get rid of mine for 16k when it was loaded and I had well over 10k into my my RL. Book value was 14k when I was trying to sell it and it was a super clean, well done RL. 8 months later when I traded it in there were 2 that just sold which had been there for 3 or 4months; they started at $12,900 and went for $10,900 when they finally sold. I traded mine in on the 2nd, got a call today from my salesman and it sold yesterday for $10,900. It's kinda fucked up how shit can go downhill so fast.
