New Durango (slightly off topic)

I know this is off topic, but the last new car I bought was in 1989 (and I
still have it!)  So I don't know how to handle this.

Last night I stopped by a jeep dealer with rumors of a diesel
Liberty to ship by Dec.

But, what I ended up looking at was the new Dodge Durango.  It's
MASSIVE  (read expedition sized)

Then, they had one on the lot, with a Hemi 5.7!  DAMN (and 4 wheel
drive with all wheel, open diff, and locked diff modes!)

Then, the tow weight is 8500lbs!  (That is over my requirements.)

Then, they make me an offer.  for a 2005, with GPS, tow package, and
just about fully loaded, $31,000. (I went on the web and built this same
truck and it came out to $38,000 with all cash back incentives)

Now, I wasn't expecting to buy, but I was thinking my next truck to
be in the $30k range.  I was thinking of buying a used truck for the
$10k range.

Anyone have any opinions about this truck?  BTW, it seats 7!  I even
sat in the way back seat without a problem!

Now, I'm still in "negotiation mode" also.  What more do you think I
can get off this truck?  would another 5k be within reason?

Help, I need answers!  (I'll likely be talking to the dealer around
4pm today.)
