Nice job man! I went to buy that exact car on 7/8 at Grand Prix, but the salesman and manager wouldn't budge from 32k, and I wasn't in a rush to buy so it ended up being a waste of a 2.5 hour drive for me. I'm happy you got them down a little! Ended up working out for me because 2 days later on 7/10 I put a deposit on my car that I found in CT and picked it up on 7/12 and it had the couple options on it that I wanted.

Congrats and enjoy driving it!

Thanks!! Yeah I haven't been this excited about a car in a very long time lol.. Just sucks that on my first full day of having her its raining all day today. Thats funny because they werent budging from the 32K price either. But I told the salesman if they wanted to work with me I was serious to buy so I talked them down to 30K. Still above msrp but I didnt want to order the car and wait 3 months, so I pulled the trigger and I dont regret it.

Nice... just be careful when you take it back to the dealer for any recalls or service. They claim a test drive after they do anything is typical, but when I got it back they drove it 12 miles and the avg mpg dropped 0.7 with about 1/4 tank left so it seemed like they romped on it pretty hard. Obviously I was not very happy and spoke to the service manager to let them know what happened.

Congrats!

Thanks for the advice I'm definitely going to keep that in mind. The dealer I went to seemed very professional though. The car had about 7. something miles on it when I test drove it. He told me only 6 more miles will be on it the next day because they send it to get detailed, and remove all the plastic and stickers that were on it. When I went to pick it up yesterday it had 14 miles exactly on it.

I've driven manual cars before but this is the first time I actually buy one.. What do you guys do if you need to valet park the car? Do you let the guy take it or do they let you drive it to the parking spot?

ImAwesome · 07-20-2012, 07:52 PM

I use to be a valet, Being able to drive a manual is almost a requirement. So chances are you'll be fine

elbachatero1 · 07-30-2012, 09:25 PM

Just passed 1000 miles today!! Any suggestions of what to do after the break in period?

bimmerboy · 07-30-2012, 09:27 PM

Open her up on some nice back-roads!

cgrey · 07-31-2012, 02:52 AM
