Hey everyone! (long-time lurker, first-time poster)
The good news is that I'm very close to pickin up a new BLACK RTL (w/Nav) from a local dealer here in Raleigh, NC. They've quoted me $500 over invoice, which puts me right around $31,650 (plus 3% tax and $46 tags). From what I've read here (and I've read a lot), it's not the best deal, but it's definitely not the worst. I fall into the category of 'weekend warrior' so the majority of my driving will be to work and back, with the occasional trip to Lowes or Home Depot (it sounds like this truck was built for me, eh?)
Here's the rub: I'm having trouble letting go of my '01 BMW 325. She's been my pride and joy for the last 4+ years, and I'm close to payin'er off. She's black with black leather interior; a real eye catcher. Recently, however, she's been costing me $700 here and $400 there, etc... It adds up quick. I very much enjoy having a car that's under a warranty umbrella. I would also enjoy not having a car payment. It's a give and take.
Anyway - I'll keep everyone posted on the buying process. We'll see what I can get on the trade-in. That might be the clincher or the deal breaker!
