If they were "normal" colors, these cars wouldn't last long enough on the lot for someone to come post in this forum.

Shoot, even the porters at the dealerships could afford one at that price.

There seems to be a lot of the launch cars (green with tan interior) for sale with little to no miles, but I keep wondering why PCNA did not included nav in the specs, since it's definitely something most users would want. How difficult or expensive will be to add navigation to these cars?

they're more worried about their hands or butt getting cold adding heated seats or heated steering wheels.... the white launch car if it had sports chrono would be easy to sell as well.. be even easier to sell with a sea blue interior!!!

I also never understood why they didn't include the Sport Chrono Plus with a few of their PDK launch cars, like the beautiful Aqua Blue C2S Cab.

I have been driving that aqua blue cab launch car as my demo this month and yaa it really lacks without SC. I am really a manual guy so you dont miss it as much going through the geara manually but in auto mode its a dog without the other to programs that come with the SC.

I agree with you I cant believe they didnt put the new improved nav system in green car or blue cab. 100k plus car no navi LOL

Look its a lot better than the old TIP but IMO you really need the SC. Take one out for a day, your local guy should give you one for the day or if you're up my way let me know and I can arrange it. There is no better way to figure out what you want and what you dont need.

Give me a ring anytime.

How the "heck" could a P-car of this price lease this cheaply? I have an '08 basalt cab 3 year lease WAY more expensive than this car either I got my nutz ripped off, or the economy really is in the crapper.....this car seems like a steal for someone that wants a p-car on a ST lease

Because the vehicle is being sold as "new", the residual is a percentage of the retail value. As previously stated, the selection is limited and the options are undesirable. Nevertheless, you are getting an '09 and the monthly is GREAT.

a new $100K Cab for $30K off sticker.

I'd be a bit leery of the car in question. Some of these cars were used at new car launch introductions and were likely thrashed.

I'd consider a untitled car with say under 100 miles on it but one with 1000 or so.... That car could have spent some of its first miles WFO on a track at a demo.

I have pics of some new cars -- mixed brands -- on a large car carrier that were used for at a new cars comparo at local race track by some members of the automotive press. Tires worn and brakes worn and obviously overheated. Truck driver told me cars he was going to drop cars off at a shop that will replace worn tires, brakes, and then detail cars.

Cars will then be offered for sale as new. Since unregistered they are new, but still....

Sincerely,

Macster.
