If you don't feel comfortable then pass, I would. There will be others out there. Prices not going up any time soon..

 

Thanks for all the input…tend to agree and go by my gut..pass and move on!

 

I'm surprised the dealer is not willing to negotiate the price. Pretty sure the car was for sale when I bought my Vantage last year and the dealer has been steadily lowering the price since then. My view is the 1 of 1 2020 non AMR Vantage with a manual does not add anything to the value. If anything, people will pay a premium for the AMR badge. But it's a great car regardless of the badging and I would recommend it if you can get a good deal on it. Also, I have a manual on my Vantage as well, and you get used to the dogleg pattern pretty quickly, Funny thing is when I drive my son's BMW with a manual, my instinct for first gear is now based on the dogleg.

 

Today he is non negotiable….but who knows where he will go if the car continues to sit.. I always tend to look at the cars future “value”
which we all know is generally poor with AM unless it’s really something special.

Thanks for your input

 

While I cant speak to the value of the car you are looking at, I can say that I really enjoy my 2020 AMR manual car. Once my brain got used to the dogleg shift pattern, it is a hoot to drive and I am really enjoying the car. I do agree with one of the other posters who made the statement as to that car being a test mule and probably driven hard. I remember seeing it for sale when I was looking and it did not give me a good feeling about that car after reading the ad.
