SkforzaGroup

TheMechanic

If you get one out in Texas, we should meet at the track so you can really see how it drives!

That would be pretty cool, never tracked a car before

Tjandegi

It's addicting once you start

NewportSLS

Going to leave the motor alone until warranty is up. Carbon fiber areofoil is a must! It will go nicely with the cf mirrors.

TheMechanic

Oh I bet it is,

TheMechanic

Youre right, cf is a must and if/when I get one, i may leave the motor alone as well other then upgrading the ecu/tcu with an x-pipe, other then that probably all cosmetics. never been a fan of chrome accents on a car so that would go first.

TheMechanic

So does this sound like a good deal to you guys? or should I try land go lower then asking? keep in mind has no cf.

This one has 4k miles and is priced to sell for $148,895

Tjandegi

What year?

TheMechanic

I see they are trying to double charge for destination and delivery, (means the same thing when manufacturer charges dealership for delivery of vehicle) and if they do, Im gonna tell them to show the invoice.....all in all i think i wont go any higher the 142ish, there are some out there that are less but wanted to see what you all thought

TheMechanic

its 2011, that is the email I got from the dealership, he said its a clients of theirs....soo not sure if that means theyre firm on that price or not

Tjandegi

Nvm just saw the 2011 registration year. I wouldn't pay that price unless they're offering some crazy incentives like extended warranty, new tires, etc. That should be priced at 138k and sell for low 130.

Tjandegi

If it's a clients, they're probably trying to sell for the tax benefit. That's how I got a great deal on mine because the private seller saved on the tax benefit through a dealer.

TheMechanic

Thats the price I had in mind as well and Ill start off with 130 and see what they say, not scared of walking away so we shall see how motivated they are in selling it.

TheMechanic

Ahh ok, I gotcha......also they said they could not hold it unless we do paperwork, then once Im home I could test drive it and if its not to my liking, they cancel the contract.....

Tjandegi

130 is good price for that original msrp and miles. I would walkway from anything above, maybe 135 if you absolutely love it. With there being a semi large inventory of SLS's right now, huge competition of vehicles in this class and price, it's a tough market for them to sell this car.

TheMechanic

that gives me hope lol, although I really suck at negotiating...so if youre in the LA area and feel like helping out haha more then welcome

Tjandegi

Oh man, negotiating is the best part! When you're in a buying position, you have all the power lol I'm in Texas so if you end up out here, more than happy to help out.
