Ok - Today was a good day. I think I'm getting close to the finish line with being able to find the right deal for a new 2010 Tucson GLS; FWD; Popular Equipment Package; Ash Black; Taupe interior. I have a 2005 Tucson in great condition for my trade. I have done my homework; been shopping at at least 5 dealers but still can't get my "deal". I know what I want to pay even though the way these cars are selling, I realize I don't have alot of leverage.
I email yet another dealer last night who calls me back today. I go through the whole story with her and calls me back 15 minutes later and tells me her dealership will meet my price. She will give me a lot for the trade and make it all net out to my number. Sounds good right?
Ok, here comes the "buts". First of all the car she can find is in Massachusetts (I'm in PA). And it has black interior (I wanted taupe). She said she would have one of her drivers go get it for me and drive it back to the dealership (approx. 350 miles) free of charge. So, I have two things to think about now quickly.. (1) Will I like the black interior with a black exterior? Any thoughts / opinions on that? and (2) What are your opinions on a "new" car having 350 miles on it when I get it? I recall from the past that its not good to drive a new car consistently over 55 / 65 miles an hour. Thats a long way from Massachuesetts to PA..
I really want to buy a new Tucson and have been shopping for almost 5 months. She gave me the sales pitch about my trade in decreasing as the weeks go by and that the exact car I want is very difficult to find.
I need some opinions. I don't want to do something stupid just because of my emotion and enthusiasm. Thanks.
