I had a 1973 Gran Torino Sport with 83 thousand miles on that I wanted to trade on a new 1976 Pontiac Grand Prix, took it to the dealer, and he was only go allow about 1100 on a trade. Next stop was the Ford Parts Counter, bought a new speedometer, had a garage set it at 38K miles, drove the car up to Robstown, TX and bought a demo Ford Torino Elite. The salesman couldn't believe it only had 38 thousand some hundred miles on it, I said I had a company pickup, and only drove the car on my days off, got a much better deal, but got screwed on the quality, or lack thereof, on the "new" car. Rule 1. Never buy a demo Rule 2. Never do something like this and deal in your own backyard. Unanswered Question: If I had bought the Pontiac, would I still be driving GM today?
