Default Speculating to owning in a week! Got one!

Howdy Folks!

Well, this will be shorter than my war-and-peace novelization in my original intro post

I just scored an AMAZING deal on an S2K - it's probably ~4-5 days away from delivery (assuming scheduling and actual transport).

2007
Silver (Silverstone on 07 correct?)
Black/Red two-tone interior
Mint, ~10K miles

One owner car traded in at a Dodge dealership (the seller said they would detail and store it inside).

Here's a few pics:













It was a no reserve auction with NO BIDS so I just waited till ~55 seconds and put it the starting price and won with that same price: $19,995.00 which I think is +killer+ for a super clean '07 with 10K miles.

Yours looks exactly like mine, except mine has black interior. You (obviously) got a way better deal than I did. I paid MSRP for mine, plus ttl, so about $36K or so.

OK, so yesterday, I had to go up to the bank, return my cert'd check, and WIRE the money today since the transport just showed up. WTF. No call? Fantastically quick service for the pickup, but just a little muddled up on coordinating things.

OK, that minor bitching aside, it's on the way! Woot! The dispatch email indicates the 19th (Wed), but I guess it all depends on the drivers stops and whatnot. Maybe today?

Man, that's a steal. I've seen some 05's go for that price, with more miles.

Yeah, I thought it was. I was about ready to pull the trigger on an '06 for $21K, or an '07 for $23-24K, then stumbled on that car on Fleabay. No reserve, starting bid of $19.9K, no bids, just mine at the starting price.

I'm actually glad it was a dealer car too since they put together all the paperwork, are there 9-9 daily for pickup, etc. No word from the driver or CS rep at the transport company today, but the emails seems to be 1/2 a day slow.

Based on the pickup, this guy might just show up at our door without a call.
