Configure all 3 cars with the options you want, give me the MSRP's, and I'll give you a bottom line price. I can figure out my costs based on the MSRP's given... I don't have the time this second to call around to check inventory and pricing

2011 MB C300: Sport - 4Matic - Premium1 Package - Multimedia package - Lighting Package - Heated front seats - Rear Side Airbags (opt) - Wheel locks - All season floor mats - Cargo tray - Cargo nets : Online 45K

2011 Audi A4: 2.0 Premium Plus - quattro - 8speed Auto - MMI Navigation - Heated front seats - Rear Side Airbags (opt) - Wheel locks - All season floor mats - Cargo tray - Cargo nets : Online 42K

These prices are with the destination charges...I usually can talk the dealers down....so am assuming i can get either of these cars between 39-40K. Audi said they will give her 11K for the trade....

Let me know if you can work something out...I dont mind driving the distance...but if you plan on shipping it....how much would it be for KS 66062....

damn i cant believe am asking for a shipping quote for a car.....cracks me up

Inner door panels, I meant.

Not such a descriptive pic, but you end up trying to grab the upper part of the door handle only to realize it's not scooped to grab onto, it's the opening below it that you have to reach into. Even when the customer sat in the car he grabbed the upper part only to realize he had to move his hand lower. It's stupid to me..




Better pic to show:

I didn't get to drive this one. It was delivered by the dealer, so they brought the car straight to my customer and I just supervised to make sure everything went smooth. I personally love the Z4's too, would love to get one!

That Buick looks pretty good

The Z4, 300HP turbo, for a 17 year old. Hmmm, me thinks new money.


Anyway, Shoofin, your prices are really good. Does it get a touch sweeter if you pay cash? I know it depends on the vehicle, as it effects your profit line.

Shoofin,

Those are some great prices you showed on the cars you quoted a few posts up.
Do those financing rates you showed on the Audi, BMW, MB apply to Honda? I have been in touch with you 2 or 3 times over the past few months regarding a potential car for me to get into this summer. As far as pricing goes, do you think it is worth it to get a 2011 civic si or wait for the 2012 redesign? What do they go for these days being they are an outgoing model?
