Found my 2010 SH-AWD Tech

Buying a white/taupe from out of state. Fully loaded because it was the dealer/owner's demo. 5k miles.

Looks gorgeous with the white chrome trim package (replaces the silver).

Will post pics on delivery. Arrival next week!

Congratulations. You got a good deal considering you got exactly what you wanted when 2010's are few and far between...at least in the NW.

Are you sure its a good price? People in my area (including myself) got ours for about 37500 AFTER Taxes, title, and license. My car had 27 miles on it, and is cheaper than what they are proposing to sell you. Its one thing if you want nothing but that color combo, its another if you think you're getting a good deal. They are going to be selling you a used car for more than they should be selling it as new.

37500 after tax, this price doesn't seem even possible for SH-AWD with tech. it makes sense without tech

Some areas had some great deals going for a while. I think when the supply gets low these dealers get crazy.

I guess it depends on where you are on the map. Not every area has great deals I guess. YMMV.

The one I got has the HPT and the white chrome package supposedly goes for $2k. I also got wheel locks, the trunk tray and all weather mats. It also has the side rails, I believe?

The best price I was offered on a 2011 Tech SH-AWD in this color combo was $41k.

White is a fairly popular color down here.

i doubt that was 37500 after taxes, title and license...that would be a smoking deal...

Mine was 37664 off the lot, and I have seen better pre-tax deals.

Again that is area sensitive. One can't compare a good deal in DC with a good deal in Juno. One can only get the best deal available for their area. And another consideration is the type of after purchase support one gets. I paid more for mine than you did it appears but I got KBB on my trade-in with no haggling. And when they made a mistake delivering it (wrong day) they gave me a bunch of free stuff like life time oil changes, etc.

And they let me test drive it considerably before I signed paper work. I knew I was gettig a rattle free, issue free car. The price out the door is only part of the overal deal.

This is true. Even though you may pay less before ttl you could still get hosed on the back end if you live in California and especially LA county. The sales tax alone is almost 10% here. Not to mention California's ridiculous add ons with the license fees.

No. Regal has a black/black base and Courtesy has a red/umber, but those are the only ones in Central Florida with AWD. I checked all the way to Jax and Tampa, and they were limited as well.

Ocala had a silver/taupe Tech FWD, but that was it for nearby.

Looks good. Is this something only your dealer offered or is it available nationwide? Also, is it something one could order and self-install?

There are, but only if you are willing to accept the dwindling choices in colors and styles specific to your region.

The only way I could get a white one was to go to the next state up.

M dealer does this since release of 4g to most of the cars they receive. Majority are White or Black cars. Other colors dont look quite as good with "beek" painted.

I have a feeling customers will enjoy the 2012 refresh to the point of not needing such a pkg even though dealers may still offer it.

I wished it had arrived clean. 600 some odd miles on the truck got it pretty dirty. I had to receive it in a vacant lot too since the carrier had no clearance for trees. Dragged a whole bunch of mud into it from the jump.

BTW, I dont think the front and trunk pieces are painted chrome. I think they are replacement pieces.

the front and rear pieces are painted after the dealer gets the car, that is not factory...its cool, but its not an oem part....
