twisted Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 First off all your input is appreciated. Here are the 2 offers i have Option 1 05 LGT LTD 5MT-Silver demo (driven by Sales Manager) with 5000 miles Options (Short Throw Shifter, spoiler, autodim) at 24000 Whats a good price for this demo? I'm hoping 22800 Option 2 05 LGT LTD 5MT Garnett red (200 miles on it) Options (spoiler sub amp autodim armrest) at 25500 (dealer's lowest price altho i want it for $25000 even) Is this in line with what others are paying? Which one to go for? I think i am happy with the Red one's price but if i can get dealer to go down on the used then i save some money. Its not like it was a customer demo Question is how low can i expect him to go down on the demo even tho he insists that 24000 is the lowest. Dont get mad...just help me make up my mind...cuz i'm very indecisive TTL is not included in the above prices but he'll give me $13K for my trade on either sale: which brings tax to (5 % of the difference) ($500 for silver at price of 24000 and $625 for the RED) Title will be another $150 or so tops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legasee Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 $5000 miles??...that's not DEMO..that's a trade-in!!! ..don't dealers try to sell anything that they can??...that's keeping the car in the dealer for a long time to rack up $5000 miles, no?...I don't know about pricing LTD's...have you entered those numbers onto kbb.com?? In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallispec Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 $24k is too much for a used legacy, in my opinion. If they won't drop down to 23000 i'd take red own. That car has probably been on the lot for a while - so you might be able to get them to come down a little further. $25,500 isnt a bad deal though. either way - i'd stick with the Red personally - chances are the Silver one has had a rough life on test drives and doing it's demo work. I'm sure the sales staff was real good about putting premium gas in it as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisted Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 ok so lets forget the silver and stick with the red one does 25.5 seem ok for it or shud i aim for lower considering its an 05 and all I spoke to another dealer and they can gimme a red one for 25400 (but thats without the 3.9) All i really want is the damn red for 25 even and 3.9...is that next to impossible???

rallispec Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I think you should be able to push the dealer to 25.... if not, i think 25,5 is still a good deal on a limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Get the red one if you can get the bad OE spoiler removed for no extra charge:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Ask him what he'd give someone on a trade of an 05 with 5K on the clock Was this car titled? If so, it's used and should be marked down accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisted Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 the silver was driven by sales manager....prolly with dealer plates on...if he wud come down to 22 then it may be remotely close to a deal..otherwise its whack...i'm sticking to the red..now if only u guys wud tell me whats the best u got fora a LTD 5MT sedan before TTL..that'll put things in perspective for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisted Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 Get the red one if you can get the bad OE spoiler removed for no extra charge:D whats wrong with oe spoiler...please tell me cuz i dont know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallispec Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 whats wrong with oe spoiler...please tell me cuz i dont know there is nothing wrong with the factory spoiler -- he just isnt a fan of the way it looks. If you like the spoiler though - then don't worry about it at all. as for pricing - i'm not sure what most people in the LTD models were paying, but i'm willing to be the lowest prices were in the mid 26k to 27k range. 25,5 is what more people were paying for a loaded non-limited model. but you've got time on your side - this car has been on the lot for a while and chances are that the dealer is starting to lose money on it and will be willing to negotiate a little more to get rid of it.

Drakuun Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 1: Stay away from Dealer Demo cars.. I mean.. its a DEMO.. DEMONSTRATION... so gotta Demonstrate how it pwns with it's turbo and it's handling... meh... I wouldn't touch it, and I shurly wouldn't touch it for $24,000 when they would put you in a new car for $1,500 more. (that should make up your mind right there) If you do choose Option one, I would do as Jedi suggests and ask what they would give in trade for that car with 5k miles on it. $24000 is BS when a new one is only $1,500 more and hasen't been "demo'ed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needforsleep Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 i was just offered $26,200 before TTL on a white 2005 GT Limited auto with auto dim /homelink and the security upgrade. MSRP was $30,876. I was shooting for a lower price though. I had wanted a manual, but this is the only white LGT around. I live in Houston, so I'm not sure if it makes any difference. Do you guys think this is a good deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperhawkLGT Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Ask him how much the invoice and the holdback are. Are there any rebates right now, isn't there 2k back on 05's or is it 2k or 3.9% ? If it is ask them to figure out which option is better for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Don't worry too much about a "demo" Scooby. Winky was one, and to-date, no "stutter/studder," no clutch-stink (despite my rather repeated 3 to 5K clutch-slip launches since I've "gone Stage II") - none of the issues that so many here have posted about. If you fall in-love with it, and you've thoroughly inspected it pre-delivery, you'll be fine. If your personal taste is to have a vehicle that's been "babied" during break-in, though, you're better off taking a "new" vehicle from the lot with as low mileage as you possibly can. Even at 200 miles on the odo, that can either be a lot of test-drives, or can be a "dealer trade," which would have been road-transitioned from its dealership of origin to its current location - again without guaranty on how it was driven. Pricing will be determined in-part by where exactly you're located. A scorching deal in one area of the country may well be a piss-poor one in another area.
