Crazy timing and I would have been out at least 10k if I had made the deal just the day before.

[QUOTE="ArabianOak, post: 16952127, member: 127831"] Hi Gang, As some of you know I sold the M8 on consignment a few weeks ago. Def one of the best cars I have owned. Car was insanely fast and did nothing wrong. If I had to nitpick I would complain about some of the interior things but that would really be digging. I had three cars in mind to replace it...none of this will make sense but here they are. 1. Bronco Raptor 2. Model X Plaid 3. Blackwing The blackwing has always been on my short list because I am a huge fan of powerful sport sedan cars. The Bronco Raptor is AWESOME looking and would be a hoot to drive all winter in the artic tundra of Illinois. The model x plaid is not only an insane value at this point but also has great tech and cheap to run. I had a deal 99 percent done with the bronco raptor at my local dealer. He had it at 15k over sticker (total insanity) and came down to 7500 over sticker. I just couldnt stomach it...It was the first time I was at the dealer, all the paperwork practically done and walked out. There is just NO WAY the Bronco Raptor feels like a 110K car. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome but it's wayyyy overpriced even at MSRP. Mid 60s territory to me. I had the jeep 392 which would murder that thing in nearly every category. The jeep was 40k less??? The plaid model x deal was also nearly done but then elon lowered the price from 108k to 89k the day I was going to make the deal on a used one. I told the dealer he needed to adjust the price for that (as I was paying 89k for the used one I was looking at) and he refused. Crazy timing and I would have been out at least 10k if I had made the deal just the day before. That being said the plaids are all gonna be in the mid to high 60's used in the coming months...a 9 second car or suv for that kinda money is mind boggling. So then I went after the blackwing...2023 very well equipped CPO car at the local caddy dealership with only 87 miles. They have had it for nearly 5 months and had it 30k over sticker originally. They had finally come down to MSRP on the CPO and I felt that was fair. Dealer had to have lost money on it.

That SUV sells itself. Pics and video...
