Ouch....good luck with that. I am sure that a nicer one will pop up for you soon, but the longer you wait the more miles get put on these, they only made 227 of the 09's too.

This one came with 2 sets of new tires (winters and summers/all-seasons). I want to get a ceramic paint coating and an aftermarket exhaust on mine, very excited

Yours is the year and miles I'll be looking for. What were you able to negotiate the price down to?

No, was happy with the price as it had the options I wanted with the payment I was happy with so I did not bother with negotiating the price, also did not want to loose it. They only had it for about a week too.

So, dealer sent me a service contract for an exclusionary warranty for 24/24000 with a $100 deductible and for 3500, seems like a rip off, what do you think?

Paid warranties are designed to make money. Almost but not quite always you will lose that one, sir.

I'd say that unless you can get a warranty for $100/mo over the term you're paying too much.

I sent the paperwork back today and declined the warranty. It was $526 w/o warranty and $585 w/warranty. It is only for 2 years though so I would still be paying for the warranty for another 4 years after it expires.

I'd think you could do better shopping around. Try starting a new warranty thread as I recall reading quite a bit in the past but would be nice to see an update. I will be looking for a 5 year warranty for mine......as long as it's transferable!

Just got the S8 in today! Wow, I am amazed. I am going to read the manual from front to back and learn all about the features. I thought the leather would be softer though? More pics incoming......
