Well, not the silver one...but even better.
I've been driving a rental car for two weeks now and had placed a deposit on a Silver Sky at my local dealership. Today I decided to see if I could find one available locally since I had no idea when mine would be in. I needed to get out of this rental ASAP!
I didn't find one today...
...I found three!!! That's right, there were three Skys to choose from for me today. One was a Silver Graphite. I liked the color but it had cloth...no way did I want cloth. Not only that, they also had a Silver Pearl in the showroom. While it did look pretty cool I didn't really like that color as much as I thought I would...and that's what I had on order. Well, I found a Midnight Blue with black top and a Green with Brown top in the area. Went and looked at the blue one...and loved it...much better than the Silver Pearl.
However they had a "motion sensing alarm" installed for $3,000!!!! NO WAY was I going to pay this hidden markup! I talked to the sales guy and told him I had a deposit on one at MSRP that had a couple more options than this one did (like the LSD...I will get that and install it though...nice being car handy) but would cost me LESS because of their stupid markup (said it nicely though). So he talked to his sales manager and she agreed to give me the alarm at cost since they couldn't take it out. $375 sure beat $3000...so I got my Sky and in the 60 miles I've driven it...WHAT A CAR! Not as fast as my Grand Prix but the style and fun factor is just...WOW.
Now to go cancel my order Monday. I'm going to give my salesperson over there a little something though because she really did work hard for me. Just needed something sooner than "one day".
But if you're in So Cal and want a Sky tomorrow...I have a couple dealers for you to call...think Orange County.
