Looking To Buy GMT II M-series "Pepsi" New From An AD

Hope it's okay to post this in the Gen. Disc.

I'm looking to buy a new GMT II M-series "Pepsi."

I am in Los Angeles. I have only found them at Ben Bridge here in L.A. and they want $5750.00 plus tax.

I will be in San Francisco on April 4 and Berkeley on April 5, if anyone knows of an AD who will discount.

Thanks.

PeterT,

I have located two at two Ben Bridges here. $5750.00 plus tax ea. That may be the only deal left to be had.

I figure that, at $5750.00, they are charging $600 over original list. That's a little high, don't you think?

I stumbled across a Z serial this weekend and jumped on it.

Good luck with your search.

Not at all...

$5,075 - which I think is the old list price, no? I was excited to find it new at an AD and I feel like I got a reasonable price.

I think you got a great price. Congrats.

BTW, does your Z have lugs holes or no?

Again, thanks.

$5750 is the new price. It was part of the price increase and is documented on the pricing sheet. It's not a $600 over list.

The old list price was I believe $5075. Some dealers may have some New Old Stock at that price. Most have remarked their old inventory to the $5750 price.

I was told in the Uk as it was a discontinued model there was no price increase. If there is an increase I have seen a 2007 model advertised that looks good instead.
