Okay, I've found what appears to be a decent G prospect about 115miles north of here. Specs:

2005 DG AT, 40K, Bose, 18s, Lex shield, sunroof, no spoiler or nav, stone interior, female non-smoker. Reported as not a single blemish on the vehicle, all maintainance done at dealership, 3k oil changes, etc. (Highway miles, such that it matters)

$23,900 listed price.

No sport-tuned suspension is the only thing it's missing. Looks like an okay price for the area and local inventory non-dealer is sparse, at best. Worth a trip you think? I'd prefer LS, but I don't want to wait forever for it. Thanks

 

Hmm... Thats kinda high, I got mine froma dealer in Orange County CA for 21500 loaded -nav with spoiler 14800 miles. 72mo b2b 80k warr. OTD for 26000 with taxes and gap

 

Seems a bit high to me too. With the market the way it is now I bet you can get at least a few k off that price.

 

+3 seems a little too high...

 

+4 on the high price.I would try to get it lower or look somewhere else.Good luck.

 

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I don't get the impression this is a 'need to sell' or that there's much movement so maybe it's better I wait for something else to come along.

 

just a tad high... Don't let that "female owned/driver" deceive you.. Girls that drive G's are more on the wild side and tend to abuse more.

 

When I read Female Driver I defintely don't think it's in better shape. I should just sack it up and pick one up in Albuquerque or LA. Would that be a bit too far to join the community?

 

work the price down

 

Not at all. No.

There is a SICK 04 pearl white Z at a benz & bimmer dealership here in phoenix with 31K miles, it also has some nice 19 or 20 Inch Konig rims. I was going to buy it when it was originally listed at 23K but they wouldn't budge on the price. So I left.

2 months later I saw it listed in an auto guide magazine for 18,888.. That thing has been on their lot for so long that they're dying to get rid of it. If your into Z's go test it out. It drove really nice.

 

I wanted a Z first, drove a few and really liked them despite the cramped quarters. That said I've been in love with the G since it came out and a child seat (no kids yet)will fit in it so it's more practical.... sorta. If I could get the price down 1800-1500 I'd probably be happier, but still only 5 years of driving before it hits 100k.

 

Well, I found a new ride and I'm sure if I post it someone in CA will swipe it
Athens blue, loaded except nav, AT 2005, Graphite interior, 31k for $21997 at a small dealership, factory warranty through 4-09. It's in San Diego... 6 hour drive, but there are 20+ high res pics that look incredible. Hate the 05 spoiler, but I'd Data Systems it post haste. That's about 23.7 out the door, not sure condition of tires. Thoughts?

 

You can talk them down a bit more than that price.. Just be careful when buying from small dealers. Make sure its a clean title.. I have carfax, PM me the vin if you want a report.

 

Thanks nino, PM sent. Tough to drive and have them not deal
