Augusta? That's in GA? Why all these great prices are in east coast, OH, VA, PA, GA.... Why do Californians have to pay virtually everything more? Houses, gas, cars..... Weather is not even that nice recently. Well that's off topic a bit I guess.
 
Still strikes me that why this dealer in Augusta had to sell TL in such a discount (about $3K?) over other local dealers. You did not even have to negotiate much. I mean who's gonna buy from other local dealers then?

..... It depends on the location, the time of the year, the buyers patience and the options ... in the case of Idontknowitall, he bought a black vehicle in Georgia .. excellent vehicles, but not a big seller in the land of the Falcons .. but a big seller north of the Mason/Dixon line ...

I expected the price will drop for the next two months because the end of the year. If the new RL selling good the dealer may want to sell more TL to get more RL. RL is $15,000 more I am not sure it sell as good. However when is a new model at least will sell good at the first few months. I have contacted almost all the dealers in the Sol Cal area. Try Santa Monica and Tustin first, then Downey and Valenica, Cerrito and Keyes last because they do not quote price. They do not give much discount on Nav model, about $1000 off MSRP the most.
However it all depends on color etc. If you can find one on the lot may be more room for the price. There are more car with Nav on the lot now since there is more Nav model for 05. I could wait for another month or two get a lower price. Since the Anthracite/camel is a rare combination. I think less than $1,000 over invoice for a incoming car is a fair price in this area. You should start ask the quote a month ahead of your purchase to get the color and price you wanted. Forget about those do not response. You may want to take a vacation in the mid west and bring the car back if they have the color. The saving may cover the vacation cost. Good luck.

Demo? by sukinsyn

One of the local dealers has a demo available. It is a manual trans with a spoiler. It has 5k miles on it. Their starting offer is $30,500 for it. I have been unable to find a realistic price for a '04 TL with only 5k miles.
 
Is purchasing a Demo a good or bad idea. I know how hard *some* people drive demos. OTOH, manuals are no where to be found and I would love a manual.
 
The dealer did say many people do not like the spoiler. I don't mind it. I am more concerned with the miles and the clutch damage.
 
Any ideas?

$30,500 is what some are (were) paying for a new '04 6M (without the spoiler though). This sounds too high to me.
 
Don't know about damage/wear, etc...

The car was blue with quartz interior. It looked like a used car. It had some dings that needed repair and a scratch to the back fender. Someone (a salesman) used it for transportation. It looked like it had been in a grocery store parking lot. Not just peeps driving for demos.
 
When I said I wanted to see the numbers, they told me it was sold to the guy who just so happened to drive it before me. The car had been sitting for months and no one had looked at it. Because of the spoiler according to the internet manager.
 
They then tried to show me a red '04 with black interior. Which I don't want. I don't want black interior. Too hot.
 
To add insult, they had a used car salesman helping me. And there were new car salemen standing around. The used car guy didn't know a thing about the car or about the '05's when questioned.
 
I am disgusted with this dealership.
 
Can you say bait and switch?

I have a wife and 2 kids and am looking at the G35 and TL. It sounds like there have been some ooncern with the tires/ride on the TL.
 
Are you guys satisfied with the TL? What made you choose over other cars?

I love my '05 TL. It's my favorite car to date. What made me choose it over other cars were the BMW good looks, Honda reliability, and really cool toys/technology. The ride is a little firmer than your average family sedan, but not bad enough to make me miss my '99 Lexus. Awesome car! The Bridgestone tires haven't gotten great reviews, but my Michelins have been ok.

sorry, but in no way is it bait and switch when you are looking at a used car and it gets bought out from under you. Now, if they actually never had the demo car in the first place and used an advertisement of the nonexistant car to get you to come into the dealership and THEN tried to sell you a new one at a higher price ... THAT is more in line with bait and switch.
