Help Me Buy A Car Thread v.ScottyB: WITNESS ME BROTHERS

[ScottyB]

I never had to speak on the phone once and I negotiated price via email.

that's the thing - once I start talking numbers they either won't respond or just continue responding with "I see, well why don't you give me a call / come on down and we'll go over some numbers". you west-coasters must be a lot more chill about this kind of transaction.

i don't want to go over anything, i want you to see the number i'm giving you and tell me if you can sell me a car for that figure or not. i don't have time for this garbage.

anyway, i'm going over to the local dealer and test driving a GTI SE w/manual that came in on a truck last night. i think they're trying to earn my business on this and the worst that can happen is i walk away. they've told me twice they think they can be more aggressive on this one due to it being a manual and a color i didn't want (but could come to like...for the right price).

tomorrow i'm off to Savannah to test drive an Si. beyond that...all my prospects have either turned up bad Carfaxes, sold out from under me, or are priced out of my reach.
