Decision Time, wouldn't mind the wisdom of the crowd

Does the loaded options out way the depreciation of a year old car. Whenever I buy a new car, I am already selling it in my head about 5 years down the road and figure that a heavily optioned car will get me a better return at the sale or trade in. You will eventually get back 35 - 45 % of the value of the options purchased. I did buy my 2014 Dodge Challenger RT Plus without the upgraded dashboard stuff. I personally hate all the technology. I get into a new Challenger and my head explodes with all the tech. I like buttons and switches instead of touch screen.

this is a good point... a '24 could be a year+ into the warranty already cause the clock on it def started as a used car. its annoying that GM warranty is 3 years instad of 4

I thought warranty on these were 4yr/50,000 miles basic and 6 yr/70,000 miles powertrain

• Powertrain warranty: 6 years or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first
• Corrosion perforation warranty: 72 months or unlimited distance

You had it exactly correct.

I don't think the dive planes on the CT4 are that easy to add on. Didn't someone on this forum have to get a whole new front fascia and get it painted to make the swap?

The dive planes have support brackets on the backside of the bumper. Cars without dive planes from the factory don't have those brackets. They aren't available seperately, so you have to buy a whole bumper to get them. But, you can move the brackets and cut the pass-through holes in the existing bumper if you want to avoid painting.

Is the 2024 considered "new" for the Spring Mountain Driving Experience? If so, I'd go that route for the more highly optioned car; and yes I also LOVE my BDT paint

I don't think any used 4 Blackwing is worth 85k
