Excuse me guys but I have some troubles with the translation. My english is a bit basic and there are lots of technical abbreviation that I couldn't understand.
What's the meaning of "CPO" ?

CPO = Certified Pre Owned.

I'm pretty confident that I put the screws 2 'em, and good! I waited them out through intense negotiation that lasted a full day with phone calls back-and-forth, and ended up with me telling them NOT to even call me back unless they would swing about $3k to my ballpark -- so then ended at a stale-mate.

They called me back 2 days later and capitulated, and I bought the car at the last hour of the last day of a month that was very bad for them. They even told me, only way we can do this deal is if we get the paper-work in by tonite. No deposit for tomorrow etc..

I could tell that the business manager was NOT happy letting the car go for that price WITH CPO. The finance manager did NOT know it was CPO. When I corrected him, he had to ask and was floored that I got the car CPO'd for that price.

I then refused to pay the $250 Doc-fee, he lowered it to $75.00

All-in-all, I'm happy iwth my deal and negotiating skills.

You did a fantastic job and have an awesome car! I have a feeling this one will stay in the garage a bit longer than the others

So THIS must be what it feels like when Simon Cowell gives you a compliment!

He'll be putting in head in his hands and shaking his head soon though.

I think thats a great buy, congrats! Glad you got the deal done. Adding some black in the interior would go a long way, me thinks Steering wheel and console would add great contrast. Lets see some more images!!

I was thinking carbon fiber for around the stereo/AC and center console.
