If this was an Ontario car, I wonder if they used one of those plate holders that don't require holes, since this one looks clean.

I think all the training cars had front plates; so maybe the salesman was telling the truth about this being an executive car?

bigup-yeah they definitely told me a bmw exec drove it and that it was not a training car.

maybe that is why they are not budging on the final msrp?

You should be able to get some movement; there is always room for some negotiation; even if it is just $1,000 or so.

Just don't negotiate a great price, then lose all your hard work by buying all the 'protection products'. Most of them are pure profit; the only thing worth it is 3M film, but that can be done much cheaper elsewhere (or even yourself!).

Lots of other beauties out there without this history. Personally, I'd pass on the track star.

I guess my salesperson at Gallery was a bit more honest than the one selling this car. Sometimes they'll do anything for a sale, but advanced driver training cars should be disclosed for sure.

With any used car, it's caveat emptor. Whoever bought my old car probably didn't have a clue it was modded to hell; and would have likely not bought it if they knew how hard those snails were being pushed or some of the things I did to it on the road.

Even with new cars, some get bashed around at the port and during transport; they don't even have to disclose up to a certain amount of damage. When I worked at a certain dealership, you should have seen what was done to some 'new' cars.

Btw -- who is organizing the first meet this year

protaper · 02-20-2013, 11:13 PM

By the way, when are you guys changing your tires? I am so tempted to install my summer wheels in the next 2-3 weeks. The weather seems pretty nice.
