    Its always fun to see if cars are priced right by the dealer. Toy Barn had an STI last week at what I thought was a really low price it was gone in 2 days after being listed.

    Sometimes they get it & sometimes they are smoking crack as far as used car prices go. Babs clubster sat at Beyers for quite a while because it was so over priced. Once the price was lowered to good price status there was a line for that clubster. We drove it on Saturday afternoon & when we walked in on Sunday to do the paper work there 3 people waiting to test drive Babs clubster. Our sales guy hid the keys so no one could drive it. I thought a couple of sales guys were going to come to blows over that. :lol:

    I had the same issue with an M3 from Toy Barn, it was about 2K overpriced they dropped 3K and two of us made them an offer I was too low so the other guy won the car.

    Wasn't meant to be Allen. That's what Babs & I said on the way to buy her car. FWIW I think you have a better car than that M3.

    How about a Panda?

    Not disappointed at all. I had a number that I knew I wouldn't go below. They obviously tried, I wasn't satisfied, so I told them I'd try Carmax and check Scion. They obviously wouldn't let me leave.

    I also know what you mean by looking at what they sell your cars for and being disappointed. Yeah, you get emotional and make a decision, but reality sometimes hits when you see the profit they make. I know they have to make money, but that doesn't mean it's not a bit shocking.

    I'm happy with my decision, so that's what matters.

    Over the last 2 years I made offers on cars that were turned down only to see their prices drop below what I offered months later. So they ended up loosing money on the floor plan interest.

    Jason you should be happy with that sweet new car. :Thumbsup: When do we get to see it, next breakfast? :donut1:

    I always tell them I understand they have to make money & they should understand they don't need to make all their money from me.
