Credit issues is why it's 5%. After a little bit I'm going through my credit union to lower it. This actually the first car I've ever bought from a dealership

That is a good deal and I would scoop it fast. Doesn't matter why it is discounted since it has full warranty anyway. They probably just want it gone.

I do love the "wonder how long it has been sitting out in the sun" question that Xiu asked. Probably as long as 98% of all the other 14s. It is a car it isn't going to mutate or get cancer from the sun.

The car is a Transformer. Heard they get uncomfortable from sitting in the sun all day long.

Yeah they get hot like the rest of us, especially asphalt and raven. Poor guy is probably all burnt and wrinkly now

My dad also likes the car, so he doesn't mind if I buy it. He said that the wrx is too loud inside and out. Furthermore, he also doesn't like the scoop in the front, lol. But i explained to him the details. The wrx also cost more and is more expensive to insure

If it's non-moving inventory, they are constantly losing money on the car. If that's the case, you should bargain for much less and keep coming back as many times as you have to.

Well hate to brake it to you but the insurance is going to be about the same as the wrx. If not more.

Good point and good advice, unless you put a value on your time, in which case the price offered is fair.

iwantafrs · 09-24-2015, 08:09 AM

The truth is, the sticker price was listed for $24900. We exchanged words and got it to $23k. Ill see what I can do on Friday

Questions, do all new cars have 0 records for the car until someone buys/owns it? @SuperDave got me worried because he said might have been damaged or something.

"AutoCheck Record Summary: AutoCheck has located 0 records for this vehicle in the National Vehicle Database. "

Yes the record starts with the first owner. Don't worry about damage or such since some people just always want to find something negative about everything.
No mystery here, they have a 2 year old new car on the lot and they want to move it. End of story.
