What dealer is this?

Drop it close to $30,000 and make the deal if this is what you really want. If you want it your way go ahead and order your car instead.

Every DEMO ride I've done has been alone, they photocopy my ID card and License for their protection. Needless to say the DEMOs at Military Car Sales are run HARD. So it's with that thought that I would not be too interested in buying a DEMO car, even with the $1500 reduction. Maybe for a short term lease, but I plan on buying to keep.

that doesnt seem to be that big of a discount for a car that has over 10k on the clock

CALIF65GM · 06-11-2006, 12:19 PM

It's the end of the MY. You should be able to get a new one at a fairly good price soon.

ska///235i · 06-11-2006, 12:41 PM

I looked at the pics

looks like that car's been abused so bad that it's missing a pedal!

I'd walk away

LEDZEP · 06-11-2006, 01:04 PM

It is the equivalent of a year-old car that has been driven hard by many different people. It would have to be below $25k for me to be interested (not that I would be). It's not a deal. As Ward says, walk away.
