1. put a larger down payment on this place
2. buy the CLK63BS
3. attend Concourso
Wow - you must be great at negotiating. My fiance's wedding was a non-negotiable. Basically I had to give up upgrading my next car and use it to supplement the house we wanted.

They countered back. Bringing a contractor out there tomorrow to validate my offer, and I'll shoot them another offer. In the meantime, I looked at several other properties today and nothing touches this. I have 3 appts tomorrow to check out some lofts, but I think townhouses are where it's at. Did I mention this place has a 3 car garage???

Nah. Found some issues with it, and they weren't negotiating on price. Found a 2bd/2ba penthouse condo that I'm going to make a lowball offer on.

Yeah - I noticed that there are usually problems with older units. I think it's still best to buy a townhome/condo new. Plus the HOA is usually lower as well.
