For excellent info, spend a few hours at www.carbuyingtips.com ... a
must-read site for anyone preparing to buy a new car.
I bought my Dak through www.CarsDirect.com and paid $12,939... which was
about $3,000 below MSRP and about $1,800 below invoice.
CarsDirect.com was frickin awesome to deal with. They have the best site
hands down to work with for playing with options for your car, and once I
decided to buy they worked really hard to find the truck I wanted -- for
some reason, there aren't many SLT's with a manual transmission out there.
The only thing I gave up was the LSD and the Intense Blue (which I wanted
Baaaaaaaaaad!). I got one in Dark Garnet Red Pearlcoat, which is really
nice, if more sedate. I even arranged my financing through them... best rate
I could find. This sounds like a plug, and I guess it is... I have not one
negative thing to say, it was AWESOME!
