Default 2009 GT500 order

Hi,

Need everyone's help again. Im living in Asia and all set to buy my 2009 gt500. I heard there are only around 5 owners of gt500 here in my country.

So pls excuse all my questions as I dont have much expert opinions to ask around about.

I have an option of going to the US and buying the car but my broker offered me a better suggestion..he could get it for me at 41K USD without me going to US.

Been thinking, is this a great deal already or would it be cheaper if i go to the states and do all the haggling so i could get it cheaper.

I have a friend who will help me when i get to California but would it be better if I asked my broker to get it for me and I dont go to the dealers myself.

Im just concern about the cost. The cheaper the better.

By the way, I am getting the 2009 brand new gt500.

Hope to hear from your expert opinions.

Thanks !!!

$41k is already a fairly decent price for a brand-new GT500. I'm not really sure that it would be worth the extra effort of making a trip back to California. What if you get there and don't really get that much more off? $41k is already under MSRP on the cars, and there is a chance you might not get much more of a discount. The market is kind of slow on moving cars right now, but I have found places still want to be stubborn on the price of the higher performance vehicles.

I think you should just let your broker handle it if you have the option. Save yourself the extra time and trip.

Good luck!

as everyone has said, $41K USD is a really good price for a 2009 GT500. as long as you completely trust your broker to make the best decisions in your place, I say let them take care of it for you
