Dealer texted me that they had a GV80 to see. It was already sold but I was told I could see it, but not drive it. Hustled over there with my wife and it lived up to my expectations. It was Gold Coast Silver (gorgeous) with a two toned interior. Not to my liking, but still quite nice.
Asked salesman what the next step was and he checked to see what was coming in. Turns out that 6 were scheduled for delivery in mid January. Two were sold and the other 4 were white. Only two of those had the black interior I wanted. I chose the Uyuni White over the bright white, because my wife’s two cars are that type of white.
There was no discount on the GV80, so the negotiation just involved what they were going to give me on my trade. I wanted $25,000 and they offered me $23,000. After some talk they raised it to $23,500. I thanked the salesman, grabbed the brochure and started heading out. He stopped us and said $24,000 if we were going to buy tonight. We agreed and he wrote up a tentative sales agreement. Since he didn’t know the final price of the 3.5 Advanced, he listed it as $$62,000 and I put a $500 deposit on my Visa card.
I realize that I didn’t get a great deal, but since I’ve been reading about dealers marking their cars up 5 to 10 thousand dollars, I’m happy with the way it turned out. Thanks for your interest!
