Okay go ahead and make
your guess below for the contest.
What was the total cost of
the “Dealer Buy Out”? First to guess it wins a prize. If no one does (which I
am expecting) then the closest first.
It’s only numbers throw some in.
FINALLY, I get to win the big prize. And I'll be first to say Happy birthday, unless someone is typing up their comment right now and beats me to the publish button.

Cost: $4500.00
Hmm.. I'll take a guess and say 3500.
