Finally pulled the trigger...

My story:
I stumbled on a (black/red) 22 GT2 AWD at the local dealership while actually filing a warranty claim on my 22 Sorento...
I small talked to a sales guy, and let them give me an appraisal on my car. That's as far as it got...that day.
Fast forward a month later, they get in another (white/red) GT2 AWD in. Color bonus!
So I went to the sales guy I talked to previously, and told him I'd be serious if we could agree on some things.
They didn't even try negotiating from my proposal, and I took it home right then...lol
So here I am!

It's been a minute... What website does everyone use to host pictures nowadays?

(I really want my PM capabilities unlocked so I can buy some parts!)

Congrats, so what was your proposal

Congrats, so what was your proposal

1. They honored the appraisal price, even though it was a new year and the mileage increased ($3k difference).
2. They swapped rims with the black one.
3. Tail lights were tinted (painted, almost black), but got them to strip and re-clear them.
4. $2k off their listing price.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your new Stinger! The Sorento is nice but you've got a good bit more fun to drive factor with the Stinger. It's much more of a head turner as well. I'll send you a direct message regarding your other questions...

Thanks.
The Sorento was originally the wife's, but her student loans threw a wrench into our plans...so we made some changes.
I drove it for a minute, but it just wasn't me...lol

Yeah, life is always throwing curveballs. But glad you found yourself in a Stinger. In the grand scheme of things, it’s a rare car.

Hey @JLMann82,

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your Stinger!

It looks good, you are on the right track.

Let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can help with.

That's some dark tint! Looks like previous owner blacked out everything, from the picture, mirror cups, side vents, top window trim, even the side rear reflector? Blackout on White looks good.

They only did the tails and side reflector.
The dealership stripped it though.
The rest is normal. The picture lighting just sucks.
