Default Car Dealers and End of Month

So about 2 weeks ago, I went to Harloff BMW to look at an X5.
2003 3.0, Nav, Prem/Sport Pack... FULLY LOADED and 22k miles. asking 39k

They lowballed me on the Expo offering 6k and came up with figures at about 42k out the door. I said thanks but no thanks and left.
I've had no less than 10 phone calls from the sales person since then and yesterday he called me 5 times.

His best offer over the phone was 36k + fees and 6k for the expo.
I told him no. At least I know I can get a better deal next month while it sits on their lot.

Funny how motivated he was to call me 5 times on the last day of the month. :doh:

Yep.

When I said I wanted my car back ( I took the dealer car for the night ) and I wasnt going to buy they came at me with the offers that I had wanted and had to fight for the previous night.

I know I can get at least 7500-8k for the expo.. especially being as clean as it is. If I don't get that.. I'll beat on it for another year and then take the hit. Its just in too good condition to let go for that little.

That's what I did. My car was overpriced, so I just waited and waited while it didn't sell, until it went on special.

That sounds exactly like what happened to my friend who looked at an M at the dealership.
