Sorry Oldguy; not feeling the Cobalt on Sand Beige.

But I did like the SY with PCCB's and 6500 miles on it.
Seems like most of the Cobalt cars have the Sand Beige interior...agree, not feeling it from the pics; maybe it looks better in person?

Here is a Cobalt with Natural Grey Leather and a lot of Carbon Fiber. However is is about $16K more than some of the others Paul is considering.

This one can be had for mid to upper 90s with CPO. This is my favorite of al the Cobalt blues out there but I'd wait till this gets to 90K in a few weeks and jump.

Update: after I researched prices on manhiem, I had a dealer No sheet tell me this:
"You underestimate the turbo market, however the latest mercedes price doesnt bode well
for your trade."
So how stupid is that??!! Oh "even though prices are going down on TTs there not REALLY going down
however the same data shows YOUR CAR SUCKS!!!"
How stupid do you think I am? "My data from the same source is incorrect buy my data is correct from the same source." I mean this isnt rocket science and I am a rocket scientist but dont point out my data from the same data set is wrong and yours is right.

paul, why do you waste your time like this
call up the stearler, tell them how much you want for your amg and tell them how many you will pay for their TT. and tell them to let you know NOW. if they can't and have to talk to manager, then just hang up and call the next dealer. TT are as common as camry or more common in fact. they cannot get rid of these things. dont let them pull your nose around.

and EVERY salesman knows what price they can sell/buy, no need to ask managers. if they have to ask, they are not worth your time. just deal with the ppl who can MAKE decisions. i dont talk to ppl who have to ask for permission.

it's buyers mkt.

i am already getting calls for 997.2GT3 and new DFI caymans from dealers. they dont have a mkt.

Do you honestly believe they will cut the price by about 15% in just a few weeks?

Realistically you would have to say no, but in this market, this economy, who knows?

Are you saying 15% on MSRP or the current asking price. that would make a difference

Moot I dont have the same cash base as you do, I have to be picky

15% would make a difference on a 100k plus car but I also dont expect to see prices fall 15% in a few weeks.

Well, this car went from advertised 115 to 109 to 105 and I was offered the car at 98 a month ago. Not a stretch to see it go to 90K.

Depends upon the financial strength of the dealer and how close we get to tax day.

A race car makes much better investment than a TT!

You're making my point. Its already been slashed in price big time, as are a lot of pre owned cars.

I agree 15% on a 100k car in a couple weeks is too drastic even in this market.

Well, 98K to 90K isn't 15%.

In 3 months, there will be a boatload of these in the low 80s.
