duh. Yeah that's what i meant to say, fixed it in my original post.atyclb said:
well i have a Chrome Orange sport pack car on order but am getting impacient. If i had it to do over again i would probably still order the sport pack but don't really care if it doesn't have it as the aftermarket should provide the same things (if not better). I have zero use for the hardtop or touring packages so they are truly worthless to me.perryeyges said:Most people say "I'm looking for a car with no options, they have no value to me" And when you show them the stripper car they say "oh, well I did want a few options..."
I do agree with you if you are sincere though. I got the sport pak only and would have got the base car if I had really thought about it... I know that I will be changing the suspension in time..
BMC of San Francisco has a Starlight Black touring car in stock.
I think the price will be over msrp but don't know how much over. Vincent Golde is my sales guy there if you like the black give him a call...
I went to BMC just to check out colors (they had an ardent customer car at the time). I could have sworn the sales guy said they're charging a $15K premium for the two cars they ordered on their own. Whatever it was, it wasn't less than a $10K premium.perryeyges said:

Unless you get a used one with no options and basic paint I don't think you'll find that anytime soon.offroadr35 said:
call all the dealers in the country. some (many?) have cars in showrooms to be sold over msrp - this "over" varying greately. make a list, take what suits you best - be it cheapest or options or whatever.offroadr35 said:
Not sure I agree. Mine has the touring pack, but I got the car before the $995 MSRP increase. Still, it was close to $44K out the door, and VA has a lower tax rate than many. The car today would be almost $45K out the door. Guess my point is that there's little incentive in offering $46K when that's pretty much cost to the seller. Now, if you're talking strictly buying from a dealership (and not from a private party), your logic works better, but I still don't see how the numbers work (i.e., it's still not $5K profit). It's almost $42K for a base car including freight.offroadr35 said:
I was told that the SB car is their 2nd demo. They have sold off their AR demo to someone on this board for 10K overperryeyges said:BMC of San Francisco has a Starlight Black touring car in stock.

i was told they sold their red demo to "some company." the lady that sits at a desk in the showroom told me this; she also said she is the assistant to the lotus sales manager.perryeyges said:
Peculiar indeed. Maybe there's some restriction that they can only sell it to another dealer, so this "company" has to play middle-man for the transaction?raggedy1 said:
