friend is looking at buying a brand new murci!

I've been doing some research as well on a few cars I am interested in. You are right that getting a slightly used one with few miles will save you TONS of money. There are a lot of people out there that have the cars, but they sit in the garage, and are not driven. My friend just turned in his 04 G-car with 1200 miles and his P-car with 500 miles. He took the depreciation hit for you already, so best bet would be to pick up where he left off. Buy it, and drive it.

You are also right that there are those people that have so much money that they do not care to negociate the price. They pay what is asked, no questions. Dealers love these people and dont move a lot from their posted price because they know these people will come in, and they will make more.

My suggestion to you is to find a slightly used, low miles car, and buy that rather than brand new. Granted a bit of the warrenty is eaten up, but...it also depends how old you go. 05 = not much...04 = year old. So if that bit of money (Between BRAND NEW, and SLIGHTLY USED) is the deciding factor, used is the way to go.

Drive fast, drive safe.

What would a fair acceptable offer be on a '05 Murcie egear(msrp $300kish)?

 

Yes, to my knowledge that would be a fine offer. My friend just bought an 05' E-gear for $305, so $300 will most likely get you what you want. This is just a coupe, not a Roadster.

I would look in the NY area. Every weekend the NY dealers adv. many new 05 M's with "Special" pricing. I very much doubt you have to pay msrp.

Try Manhattan Motors, Kerbeck and Lambo of Bergan NJ. I've seen an 03 with 10K Black asking 199K for months unsold.

 

Actually, I sell exotic cars. It's usually people who worked hard for their money that negotiate hard. But the one's that got lucky, or got it handed down to them, or even the one's in entertainment are the easiest people to make money off. Some dont even know you can negotiate on an exotic vehicle, lol.
