Dave - "Well, I'm looking to change my car ... I really like the 330Ci that guy down the road wants to sell me, so why should I buy this 9-5? Can you chuck in some extras?" "Those Merc 500s are nice, but this 9-5 looks way more classy ... What can you do for me?" You've got 30 grand to spend - make the fuckers work for it. You're the one with the money - they want it. Who cares there's a car in the middle? Go in with that "I'll leave if I don't get what I want" attitude and get what you want. There's plenty of dealers out there and yes, they do talk to each other, but they all want that sale! Paul
