I want a Silverstone S2000 but cannot reach agreement on price with a local dealer.

A dealer from another state has a 2005 Sebring Silver that today dropped his price to

$27,371

OK, this is not my first choice in color and...
the car has been at the dealership since Jan 05 and...
it has 142 miles on it...

but dang, that price is awesome.

His reason is he has 4 other 2005 S2000's on the lot and with winter coming, they want to unload the oldest one now, which is the Sebring.

So would you guys take this deal? Has anyone taken an S that was not your first choice in color because the deal was so good? If so, any regrets later on?

I originally was going to wait for 06's and compare them to 05's but I know if I do that, my choice in colors for 05's will be severly limited. (And now if I wait, this great deal will be gone.)

Any feedback will be appreciated.

 

I would get the color you want, I was offered a similar deal but it was only in sebring as well I passed and got the color I wanted.

 

i would pay more for the color i want! otherwise you will have these lingering thoughts in your head that money cannot remove.

 

That's a damn good deal. Is the difference in silvers really worth $5000 (or whatever deal you could make on another color)?

 

If the color was something "unique," like Rio Yellow, Suzuka, etc., I'd think about it, but for a "generic" color, like silver, it's not something you'll really regret getting. I love my Silverstone. It hides blemishes well, looks clean when dirty, and one of the best colors to have for resale. Try to talk them down a bit more. Even if they don't budge, that's a really good deal.

 

What other colors does he have?

 

I am confirming now but I believe the difference between the Silverstone deal and the Sebring is $3500.

 

145 miles in 1 year cannot be good for the engine...
And I doubt they were 145 good miles... Maybe it was broken in properly, but they were hot-cold starts where the engine didn't even heat up completely (assumption).

 

2 yellows
1 black
and the Sebring

 

That was a worry of mine, too.
