Then the next dealership had exactly what I wanted, but the price was $33k. They lowered the price to $31k. After the test drive, I decided to just leave, and the salesman and manager told me that they had been getting no sales because everyone was into getting kids ready for school. I made them an unreal offer of $28k out the door. To my surprise, they decided to go for it. Took a little prying, but now I am happy with the deal. Not bad for a 2 year old, $50k car. I actually considered a slingshot, but couldn't fit very well. This gives me the open air feel, and I can put the top up when I want. Besides, I still have the spyder and Vmax for my super fix of wind therapy.
