My friend, the lucky bastid!!!!

I have been telling a friend of mine that when I graduate in May05 I am getting an Evo mr..Well he went to look at one in Houston and fell in love w/ it and is now the owner of a white MR!!!!! What a bastid!!!!! He got it at Gillman and they told him(not sure how true) that it is the first MR in houston and possibly the first MR in TX that has been sold.....He absolutly loves it so far and says that when test driving they would only let him drive a regualr on but when he got the bank draft for the MR he took it out and said that it is a world of difference when driven back to back....Well I can't wait for this weekend to go riding around in it...That lucky bastid!!!!!!

I live near that Gillman Dealership. They had a $2,000 markup on that white MR. The total cost of that white MR with pitpass, 2K markup, and some other BS stuff totaled $42,500 + TTL.

I think your friend got *** raped.

They started at 42000...He said no...They went round and round since last tuesday....They called him today and said that they would let if go for msrp....So he got it for 35995+500 taxes(difference between the vehicle he traded in and the MR) + license,registration & some document fees= 36900..
So 36900- 4000(his tradein difference) = 32900...
He traded in a 031ton ford crew cab long bed 4x4 diesel truck for a car that will fit in the bed of it...

No he didn't...Maybe you need to ask questions first next time,instead of jumping to conclusions, you might learn something....
