Completely have the price worked out/out the door/etc... It is literally 14k cheaper than the dealer in Tustin was trying to sell me a 2015 premium for. Getting it for ~3k under invoice.

Looks like next weekend I am going to have a long road trip. Already ordered a plane ticket and I plan on flying out and driving back. Hopefully will have all the paperwork done tomorrow.

I am keeping my Z which will be my backup car or for when I am really in the mood to drive something with a clutch.

I already bought the plane ticket. I am taking off Monday/Tuesday from work and flight is leaving on Saturday morning ariving Saturday in the early evening/late afternoon. Hope to get back in California by Monday but that might possibly run into Tuesday.

I did the Dallas -> Los Angeles drive in 19 hours on the way back in my Z

I bought and owned 3 diff Lotus Turbo's. Bought them all slightly used and never went to a dealer ever. Best of luck in the search. I wont comment on how much BS that guy was attempting to blow up your tailpipes.
This. When we're talking 6 figures, what's the big deal about flying out to pick it up or having it delivered?

Don't buy it.
A lot of people who have a GT-R don't even make 100k and they are just fine.

Wow at how that dealer treated you, I don't know what I would do when he told me to get out.

+1 on the comment for taking no prisoners when dealing with the devil dealership. If you don't have to buy - milk the dealer till they are dry and when it seems like you got the best deal in the world, they will still make a decent profit on you.

Just as an example on how much a dealer makes or made on a lexus is-f - straight out of dealer sons mouth (germain lexus, FL) - the least they make is 15% of what you pay out the door and the most is up to 25%.

check out one of the top news stories; when Tesla motors attempted to bypass having dealerships and sell directly to customer (alas still having a maintenance facility) - so much lobbying, bitching, suing, and crying happened that they are now fighting off so much bs.

Just google; tesla direct sale model and then you will realize how much dealers make per car.

I am on my way back from Savannah, GA. I am currently in Longview, TX getting my 1000 miles inspection:

So here are some pics (where its dirty):






Windows error on screen under mcdonald's sign... made me LOL a bit so I took a pic:



And a pic just as I was hitting the first major break-in milestone alowing for >3500 RPM:



And the histogram of gas mileage going down horribly as following the break-ing procedure of high-sih RPM and only 1-4 gears:
