I finally did it!

congrats on the car man!

If its a demo with 1900 miles...get it at invoice! 1900 miles is not that bad as long as they can show you a full service history and it hasn't been trully dogged during those 1900 months! Who knows you may get them to throw in some options (Sat Radio, HD Radio, wheel package) to sweeten the deal with the mileage.

Good luck and post pics!

Thanks again guys for the warm welcome.

mdrobc, I would consider the demo with 1900 miles, however they were already giving me the car practically at invoice prior to knowing it had miles on it.

*** UPDATE ***

The dealer called me back this afternoon. The Jerez Black is still available and they are working on swapping it. The dealer was pretty nice as we worked it out that I would not take the car if it had an excessive amount of typical new car mileage (i.e. greater than about 20 to 30 miles); that they would tow it back for free instead of driving it; and, they threw in M3 floormats!

I hope we can seal the deal by Saturday so it can brighten my weekend! Stay tuned ...

p.s. I will most definitely post pictures, if and/or when I get a M3!

Hey, if you are really serious about purchasing an M3 at invoice why not start calling dealerships (all over the country) that are saturated with M3s. Don't limit yourself to local dealerships! You can always fly out and drive back

There have to be some dealerships with M3s collecting dust, I am certain they would be more than happy to "make cost" and chip away at their 08 inventory. The longer you wait the more attractive prices will get on the 08s.

Man that's a leap, Hummer to a M3, chalk & cheese.

Now all you need to do is remember that you cannot drive over curbs any more.

Two different driving styles there, you should enjoy the M3.

Need pics man.

jeff.m3 · 10-18-2008, 02:25 PM

The dealer called today. They said my M3 is at the dealer and will be prepped up and ready to go at 4PM today!!! YES!

Pictures to follow as soon as I get home!

Remember it's an M3 and not a Hummer, so don't forget to bend down when getting in.

Just make sure to order matte black grilles as soon as possible. Congrats man!
