Status:...Order Cancelled.

Well guys, guess I won't be getting a 128 afterall...just got the pricing and they want 33,900 for a base...so after paint, freight/pdi, taxes, etc. it comes out to over $39,000 ,and although I could afford it, it's just too much

I had a mark set in my head for 35k...I could see stretching that to 36, but not almost 40...

and of course it's a new model, and "the slimiest margins ever" so they won't deal at all.


But not to worry, I've got a lead already on an A3 for decent price so I'm going to check it out...and maybe a Scooby, and whatever I see...


Good luck:thumbup:

That's too bad. Sorry to lose you. Have fun with the A3. I wish we could get the 3 door here in the US.

Khobin, so sorry to hear that, but ya gotta respect a guy that sticks to his decision. If you choose to leave for the time being, stop by anytime, because you're still a 1addict (you know it too). :wink:

lol...yeah, the addiction is there... but oh well...maybe I'll go car shopping this evening or on the weekend to see if something else can steal it away:biggrin:

I just feel stupid paying more for a car, that in a lot of ways is less then the one I have now, even if it is more of what I want.

Damn, your killin me K. I gotta respect your decision man. I priced my 135i out to about 40k and thats with a drop and a Dinan ECU. That is really too much. Hope you stick around though. Make sure you drive the 135i and A3 though.

Thanks for all the comments guys. This has been the best forum I've had the privilege of being a part of, I can only hope it stays that way because maybe in a few years I'll be back...:wink:

And who knows, maybe I'll stop in once and a while to harass you guys about the Elections of something:biggrin:

As for the A3...well that particular one sold already
