Out of curiosity have you tried that? I was thinking in today's environment it was just a bargaining tool and not the price you get. Although I thought some of these Costco and Truecar deals were some kind of agreement between parties. I would like to know what is working and what is not for the future.

Thanks,

Yet another reason for a COSTCO membership.

I didn't but I have heard of people trying it and dealers saying it's not applicable right now. I also know that the employee purchase program is also on hold for many.

Hold out a bit, I am sure it will go down. I've seen some photos of hundreds of Supras in the dock yards waiting to go.

Here is another example of a well-setup Supra on STOCK POWER. It does 1:53.8 at Thunderhill which is a smoking fast time, on par with well-setup Porsche GT3's. The supra seems to benefit greatly from aero, which is kind of a bummer for me as it's not really something I want to do.

Mine too! But, in my experience, not theirs. I had to buy a "nice car" for that, once the interior came out of my Evo lol

That's funny because that is how I'm pitching it to my wife. I get a daily driver, then a weekend/date night car for us. I think it's the us part that she is liking. I just don't know how I will feel if she asks to drive it.

Some of ya'll are definitely in a different place than me. When I go out on a date, convenience is primary driver of choice vehicle with the kid, weather, and destination.

You guys just need to get rid of your ladies. It makes everything way easier. Haha. If I was still with my ex, there would be no way she would let me have 6 cars like I do now....
