Let me know if you need any help. I purchased mine late last year, still sorting-out minor stuff.

Default Congrats!

Congrats, I have a similar story on my car.

Long story short I was in the middle of getting a PPI and the shop called me and said, "Mr Russell the dealer just called and asked us to stop the PPI as they sold car from underneath you". Sure enough the dealer called and said "the big boss" sold it to a dealer in TX with an immediate buyer on the hook. I told the salesman, well that's F--- Up. But business is business I guess. I moved on, plenty of fish in sea. Three weeks later the sales guy called me out of the blue and said Mr Russell, the deal with the other buyer fell apart due to finances. The car is your as the previous agreed price if you still want it. If not, we are adding $10K to the price and we will relist it as the market is on fire. I ended up buying it, driving 1710 miles home and now have a great car in a very rare color combo. You never know sometimes....

He is a stand up seller and I couldn't be more delighted to be purchasing this car. It has every single option I was really looking for and a good clean history.

Pictures to come when the car arrives at my house!
Congrats! And in the end what had you "done" that got under the seller's skin so much?

I still drool over Lapis Blue, love the color combo!

FWIW I think the market actually is hot on these right now, I watched all last summer and anecdotally it seems like there are alot fewer of these out there at higher numbers.
