Re: Need help sealing the deal with dealer...

A lot of interesting advice. If the 1700 was a rebate and it expired you are not going to get that money back. I don't know how good of a deal you negotiated but NO dealer is going to sell a...

Re: Commercial Vs. Passenger Plates

I can only speak for Ohio, Commercial registration $180.00, non commercial $52.00. Insurance on a commercial licensend truck is about 4 times higher.
