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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.....

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.
