Goldstar, you got more than anyone walking in off the street would have; or anyone who reserved at that!!

They owed you that much!! Along with the car, which you haven't said much about!!

You know, we are going to want pics!! Congrats!!

I am so glad this ordeal is finally at an end with the proper car in your driveway!

As for negotiating: if you're happy with what you ended up with, it was an absolute success.

Congrats on your new and well-fought-for Brabus!

That's great news! I'm sure we're ALL happy you got your Brabus.


Just curious, can you share with us those figures that the Manager kept showing you? Might come in handy for the rest of us some day.....

There were pages of numbers. And only the packages that I asked about were referred to. Still, I cannot say I remember all the numbers. On the 4yr/48K miles (may be 60K, too many figures, kind of get confused) extended warranty, the on with a published price of $795, the Center is making about $200. On the 5yr/60K mile tire package, they have a profit of ~$260. This is the one I took.

I don't think there is a "gag order" on the cost-and-price list. Just ask your dealer to show the list to you. I did not ask to see it, but the Sales Manager showed it to me as a proof that she could not knock too much off.
