Damn... I wish I wouldn't have to buy any more cars for the rest of my life... So I searched all dealers within 80 miles radius from where I live... faxed them all for offers and it was soon obvious that I wasn't going to get the configuration I wanted... not a single dealer could even locate the exact configuration I wanted... so I have decided to give up on some options thinking I'd just buy aftermarket stuff instead... After much faxing back and forth and numerous phone calls to like 13 dealers I'm down down to 3 choices in 3 different dealerships ( in order of preference ).
  1. Silver / Black Velour , Luxury pkg, Sports Suspension, Cold Weather pkg, Mnsoon Sound system
  2. Black / Black Leather, Sports Luxury pkg, Leather pkg (incl Cold Weather), Monsoon Sound System
  3. White / Black Velour, Luxury pkg, Sports Suspension, Cold Weather pkg, Monsoon Sound system

The first one, however, is a brand new one incoming still in the dock being delivered to the deaer within the next few days. I doubt I'll be able to get a deal below invoice for that one... The other two are in Ohio... -.-;;;... But they've been in the lot for some time so I have a good chance of getting a good deal... It's just that I have to travel for an hour to go negotiate... Good news is that even over fax I have a price quote for the black leather one for $100 over invoice.

With all that aside... It's amazing how involved this whole car buying process is.. It turns out that no dealers have more than like one 1.8T manual transmission in stock... leather pkg is even harder to find... at any rate, I'm going to be spending the latter half of my afternoon and evening at the dealerships tomorrow... Go negotiate my first choice, then if it doesn't work out I'll go to my second choice, etc...
