My bad.. it is black interior with grey poplar trim... you will have to forgive me.. when I typed that I was in the throws of agony waiting for my car to be produced and then catch a ship and then FINALLY arrive... I was delusional...

No problem man, if I had done that I would have wanted someone to tell me :wink: At least it didn't come in with the wrong trim and you hadn't noticed it yet...that would be funny.

You know what I cld almost see that happening... I am so happy to finally have the car that I cld see me going " oh shit... that's the wrong trim"... but I wld have noticed if it had come with red interior instead of black...:smile:

Well I contacted them in late January and actually ordered on March 1st so the car had not even been released yet and I went in figuring they wld try to add a mark up over MSRP... they gave me a speel about most dealers charging 3 grand over msrp and yada yada... I didn't really play hard ball with them and wound up getting it at msrp... but I did get good trade in value for my car.. I told them they were not going to get it both ways.. if I paid msrp then they were not going to low ball my trade in and nit pick shit on it.
Overall they were not bad.

Yes but I will be sleeping on the roof with a high powered rifle with a night scope... :biggrin:
Unfortunately I don't have a garage.. but I do live in the safest city in all of the United States for 2006 I believe... think we were 3rd last year.

Thanks for the info. I will give them a call and hopefully be bale to push a little under MSRP. I also have a trade and understand if I push too hard they will just take it out of the trade... enjoy the car! :thumbup:

Great on your trade. Congrats. Thats what I think. If they won't discount their car, then they should pay at least KBB trade-in value. Even then they will make money on the trade and $3k+ on the 135i depending on how many options you order.

May I ask ? Did you check what KBB trade-in value was, and how close were they to that?

Thats cool. I also don't own a garage and sometimes will have to park on the street overnight. At least my neighborhood is a good one. ENJOY your ROCKET :thumbup:

Did Freehold do a good job with the prep? My car is at the port and I want to talk to them beforehand if there is any chance of swirls...

I had no problem with the prep at all... no swirls...
The only thing wrong was the prep guys left their crappy radio channel in my radio... so when i got in and turned it on I was treated to blasting hip hop...

But they did a great job...

nice looking car.....
