Hey guys,
Wanted to get some of your opinions...one of the local dealers in California called me up yesterday and offered me this car that will arrive in about 2-3 weeks of time.
This will be a basic build White , Lift , Full bucket, manual option,LED MSRP of 157 K + 20 K ADM. Not my first color of choice (Chalk/blue) but not sure if I can get too picky. Curious to get your thoughts, for those without a slot, would you consider this?
Thanks,
JM

Nothing basic about that build.

I would offer them $15K and take it

Are you trading in a car? Is so do you know what they are offering for the trade?

How bad do you want the car right now? Wait another 4-6 months and you might find something closer to your spec with a similar or less ADM.

Honestly this. It's actually a nice simple build and they are going to be trading over for a while, so if you're early, you can enjoy it with less ADM guilt so to speak.

jackmac

Thanks for the quick replies, no trade for me. It will be straight up purchase. Dealer seemed quite firm on ADM (especially being a California car), will see if I can get lucky. Pros for this car would be early availability (can start enjoying instead of a wait/unknown factor), cons being the options.

Time is money. Would you give up more time or more money? Only you can answer that. Good luck. Sounds like a nice build. Mine is similar plus manual and PCCB.

For me a low spec is awesome. I'd be looking at the total price MSRP+ADM not just the ADM. I got my GT4 w/ no option at all and a small ADM and was still under $90K. That was better for me than a $95K car w/ no ADM. Obviously I'd rather get options than pay the ADM, but that's not really the choice for most of us.

Long way of saying, if you like the car I think it sounds great.

Seems like a good deal. Show me an ADM $15k or less and you are showing me a sold car.

Not a lot of strippers in the first batch and it has the good stuff (LWBs, lift, 6MT).

What else does it have to get to $157k? Or is $157k including gas guzzler tax?

Thats not a bad deal. I think many more are paying ADM than admitting it. Thats a nice build. It's got the key ingredients - 6MT and Buckets and lift. I'd try for $15K ADM but I wouldn't lose the car for $5k difference you're talking about plus minus 3%....

mooty

the build is actually really well done
20k is a bit steep
make an offer and just get on with it.
have fun driving it and you wont forget the extra $$$ u spent.

This is a pic I took for the build, thanks for the all advice.

Not bad but I would have gotten full leather vs the Bose.

Seems like a good build. Almost a stripper (bose and the overpriced fuel cap).

At $15k over, I’d be a buyer. Add PCCB and remove LEDS and you’d have my perfect build.
