Any secrets on how you negotiated?
Actually I dont know if I'm a good negotiator myself-the car is a unique paint to sample color and doesnt have the sport chrono package.
They were asking $105,800 on a $144K msrp and I got it down to $100k so far.
They have had it in inventory for awhile so are motivated to sell it.
Sometimes you just have to find the right seller at the right time!

This looks like a great car/deal. If you track the car, consider the Suncoast Sport Mode, or maybe better... Softronic.

Sorry one more question- should I get a DME scan even though the car has less than 500 miles?

The car is still over $34k off. The decision to buy the car shouldn't have anything to do with SC, it should be whether you want that car.

FWIW, I have a6spd GTS and NEVER drive it without Sport button pushed (but PASM usually set back to normal/comfort). It's almost an involuntary response: turn the key, press Sport button (and then press PASM to 'off' and PSE to 'On'). I could case less about the clock on the dash but love the more aggressive throttle response that SC adds.

Your answer is above.

As for the wart, I don't see how you would add this without changing the dash. Very expensive and not worth it, IMO. I'd stick with the 900 upgrade from Suncoast and call it a day. If you're not going to track the car, what on earth do you want the track timer for? Just to have it?

I think you made the right choice, enjoy the car!

I would personally pass on a DME with that mileage, unless it's free, I wouldn't pay for it.
