I placed my Z8 order a while back. But I had heard from several BMW dealers that there was no way I would get my Z8 at list...My car would be sold for >$200k without my even knowing it was what they said.
Well - even though I live in Texas, I placed an order for a black/crema-black Z8 with Orr BMW in Shreveport Louisana. It was the only place I could find who would sell me one at list. I had a feeling that since they don't know me from Adam and they know I am not in a position to buy a lot of cars from them, that when push came to shove they would sell it to someone else.
But it turns out I was pleasantly surprised. One day they called me and said it was ready. I got on a flight to Shreveport and picked it up. Them I drove the 350 miles to Austin and had a great time.
It's rare that I am pleasantly surprised by car salesmen but these guys are the real deal. No nonsense and no tricks. And my Z8 is awesome. One of these days I will drive it into the original smart-ass dealer (who shall renaain nameless and said how naiive I was wanting it at list price) and buy a set of floor mats ;-)
By the way -- as everyone else on the board has commented..the car is awesome.
