If you like your lsj you'll love an Lnf. I made the switch from an lsj to an Lnf sedan and couldn't be happier. Depends on what your looking for though.

i paid $17k out the door for my ss turbo sedan with 40k on it last month. I'd try and sucker them down at least $1k on price and maybe try and get a hair more on trade in

Give the car a really good look over. Try to find small dents or things like that to drive the price down. Haggle with them, and find out how long the car has been sitting there. If it hasn't been there a while they probably won't move much, but if its been sitting they will want to negotiate.

without tax/title/license I paid $16k... after $17k..


and it doesnt really matter on location, its more of a matter of if the dealers understand what kind of car they have. Most know they are rare cars (the 4 doors), but some don't know that and would be willing to let them go cheaper. the dealership I bought mine from knew exactly what they had and I paid a small "premium" to get what I wanted.. In the end, it was totally worth the extra pennies over the 2 doors you can find everywhere

Dealers are like pawn stores. They are not gonna pay retail, or they make no money.

Think of the TV show. They get something appraised for 5 grand, and only pay 2-3.

They are not really ripping you off, that's just how it works.

Trade in in Fair condition for your car is 7300. good condition is 8300. shoot for 8k for your car and 16K for the SS/TC. do you owe anything on your current SS?
