What do you guys think? Can I do better?

So I read somewhere that when the car is Europe it will have two plates until it ships to the US. So does this mean the front bumper will have holes from the plate after I take delivery of the car here?

And if I put ACS springs on a lease, will it void the warranty? Might be a stupid question but I just want to know for sure.

Thanks!

This is a great deal. I am not sure about playing sponsors against each other...

When you perform an ED, that european tags are stuck on (like sticky tape) no holes are drilled.

I've seen other users post offers from multiple sponsors, and taking the best deal. So I don't think I'm playing sponsors against each other.

And I just got Adrian's offer, and both offers I have now are virtually same. So I'm just picking one from a dealer closer to me. Do you guys think this is kind of unethical or something?

I don't think you were wrong. As a matter of fact, I think more of this should be done. Everyone says they got a good deal, but no proof is hardly shown. It's just like getting a new car...If you don't have pictures, it never happened.

I don't have a problem with putting up numbers, but most of the sponsors (as svc mentioned) give you almost identical deals, so what's the point?

Why would everyone say it if it was not true? You would see comments slamming this guy or that guy like you see about other dealerships. As a matter of fact you see exactly the opposite. Festers going out of their way to mention how well they were treated. Again just my $.02



So svc, what are you gonna do? Are you doing ED/PCD?

ED definitely, still haven't decided on PCD. Do you know which option is faster - do PCD and take delivery right there or take delivery at the dealership? I might decide based on that.

Well I can't say exactly but doing PCD, you can only schedule after it clears customs and the VPC, so dealership should be faster, but only by a week or so...

LOL. Good to know this because I had decided against ED just because I did not want holes on my bumper.

With money saved you can buy a new bumper... Lol

Funny you say that because 2 weeks after redelivery of my last ED car I had to buy a new bumper from running over some tire road debris and I gladly insisted on no holes.

I'm back with an update.

Got my production number today. Confirmed for Jan 23rd pickup!!

So, I have question about warranty on a lease. I want to have the following mods done on the car after re-delivery.

1) Powder coat OEM rims.
2) Install spacers for rear wheels.
3) Lower car (ACS springs).

Will any of these mods void the warranty? I can probably do without the lowering, but I absolutely want to get the rims powder coated black. My other option is to buy a used set of 351Ms and have them powder coated but that's a last resort.

Thanks!

I don't know that that powder coating the rims will void that warranty but they may ding you upon lease return.

Personally I would stay away from the springs, but that's just me.
