'09 C63 -> '11 P31 C63

Quite unintentionally I might add.

Dealer called me for a promo, offering to pick up the '09 and let me make the same payment on the lease with no down on the '11. They INSISTED that I go in, so I did.

I had, from factory, LSD and top speed delimination options (and...Shhh; Kleemann K1) on the '09, so I said I can't take a car that does not have LSD and that I NEED to have the option of going faster than 155 (I actually said that!). I argued that I can't get a 'lesser' car for the same payment. Their comeback was a P31 with the LSD option, mainly because you can't have the top speed delimination by itself anymore...

The made it right...bye bye Palladium, Hello Steel Gray Thank you MBLN and Ali Hashemi.
The new car has a MSRP of +10K over the old one. Me so happy

Somedays you do well, somedays you get "F"ed. My Palladium deal was horrid, but I did it at the worst possible time for leasing late 2008. With this I think he made up for it. Life goes on.

60 months. Not too exciting, but I came out of the other 60 month lease at month 30. I don't think I will complete the whole 60 months. With these long lease terms it feels like you pay the car off, but you still owe the residual at the end...

Exactly why the sales guy was so interested in getting you into another vehicle. You didn't think he was doing you a favour, did you?

Yes I did. I have known the guy since 2006 and he's sold 4 cars to me so far. We both know that sometimes he gets himself a good business and sometimes he has to give a little more to get a yes from me. I don't get suckered in to empty BS but I respect the fact that car business is a business none the less. They are in it for the money and don't enjoy the negotiation anymore than you and I do.

I am not siding with the dealer, but I do respect the fact that someone needs to pay the rent at that place.
