I'm new and want to say hi

[Car Nut since birth]

Hi, I'm Paul, a proud owner of a fully loaded super black 3.5 coupe with charcoal leather seats, less the silly wind deflector on the roof and with 22 miles on the odometer.

Picked it up last Saturday and got a super deal by taking advantage of the Costco Auto Buying Program. I paid less than $500 over dealer invoice, and the dealer has to show the invoice as part of the Costco policy. The total out the door with taxes, title costs, new plates and a remote starter, installed was only about $150 above the window sticker price.

If you are a Costco member, check it out. It is well worth the yearly membership fee.

Hey there Paul. Welcome!

Glad ya found us. Never heard of the Costco program, but that sounds like a great price to me!

basically you put your car info, zipcode, they will give you a list of dealers in the area and their costco price. I called around and the closest one told me 200 over invoice then he called back and said that's for the sedan. The coupe is like 1200 over invoice. I was like screw it, I already got it down to less than 400 over invoice.

Welcome Paul! Drop us some pics of your ride when you get a chance!

That is a sweet deal! Congrats on the new ride. I also have a fully loaded 3.5 but I have a question...What was the dealer's invoice for your car if you don't mind me asking?

yo dangeris,As I recall it was about 29,300. I am going to paint the chrome mustache black to match the rest of the grill perimeter and find a good looking grill insert. But not that thing from T-Rex with the chrome frame, it is chintzy.After that I'll post some pics.

Definitely a sweet deal! But I got mine at bargain..$28900! The coupe that I test drove in near my brothers place had a sticker of 32,800...and it was for the same car but in frost white.

Good luck in painting the chrome mustaches. I did mine already. Some guy has a post on this already. It's called "the paint is still drying". He did his with spray cans but I paint racebikes for friends and for fun so I did mine in base coat / clear coat. took about an 1 1/12 hours. (taping and painting). Looking to do something about my grill too but I'm not putting on those chinzy ones either.
