I'm not going to argue on the other one. I read prices lower than that in the paper from the dealer who typically overcharges people. I checked it out and they were legitimately $1000 less. They were still making a profit though. I have no problem with a company making a profit. I do have a problem with them trying to make huge profit on overstocks when they should seem a bit more willing to get it off the lot was all. No worries though. To each their own.

How about this deal instead? A 2007 used Voodoo Blue with 2,400 miles on it for $23,995 + TTL. It has automatic but no roof rack (which I didn't want anyway). It is used though. Comes with package 2. It is in a town a few hours away so I haven't gone to look at it. I've been e-mailed pictures though and it does look brand new.

Thoughts? I need to move quick I think if I'm going to get this one because of the low mileage is my thought. Maybe the price is not that great for one that has been titled before though and is "used". I'm not so sure.

Any info would be much appreciated.
If it is from a Dealership then I would Jump on it.. Getting one from a Private party is ok also, but have it checked out.. The price is real cheap, compared to what they book for, retail..

But if it looks like a nice rig and checks out get it.. 2300 is noting on it..

Re: A dealer offered me this.....

Bam Bam, I got a screamin' deal from Larry H. Miller In the SLC. 2500 under invoice. I just found someone back east that was willing to do that for me and showed them, so far so good with them. (although the sales guy was a total Guido).

Re: A dealer offered me this.....

Really? That is interesting. I couldn't even get those jokers to work a dealer trade for me a few weeks ago. They were not that cool. I will give them one more try. Was there somebody in particular you talked to at LHM? I bought my first car there and it was quite possibly the worst experience of my life, even including the time I had to drive home with a busted leg and use that leg for the clutch.

Re: A dealer offered me this.....

Bam,

Yesterday I bought my new '07 leftover for $1500 under invoice plus a realllly generous amount for my not so glamorous trade...

This is all in northern Vermont as well... not known for high volume dealerships or competitive pricing.

Basically, Hold out. They can do better, or you can do better with another dealer.
