Good Deal?

After a bit of negotiating this is where I am:
05 RR GSR w/ssl - $31800 (this includes destination but NOT Tax and tags)

It has 300 miles and is essentially the dealer test car. I balked at that. They then tried to throw in gauges for free. I laughed at that.
Now they're offering 36000 mile PIT PASS. I'm not laughing anymore.

Worth it?

300 miles of clutch dropping dealer joy ride car?? That is the problem you don't know how it was drove and the break in period is very important. Maybe get them to agree if there any tranmission or clutch problems that they will fix no questions asked. Good luck either way. Price isn't to bad though.

You should be able to get a brand new one for that price, not a dealer demo.

That price is nearly a thousand under invoice, but if you could see how these cars are driven at the dealership. I was out on a test drive in an 05 RS and the sales guy took off from the parking lot and red lined it in first and second after slipping the hell out of the clutch. I told him to turn around. He was like why? I was like because I sure as hell wont be buying this car. That guy was a tool

those 300 miles are very essential for the evo and being a demo car its probably been beaten on alot. as some said you can get something with under 20 miles for that price.

If I was you I would buy new, even if it was a little more. Do you plan on modding?, if so they most likley won't fix it under warrenty new or used ,so why pay for the pit pass or any warrenty they offer you.
Buy new!
