Buying an f Type today
 
So gents I am new to forum and I am purchasing my f Type tomorrow. I am trading in my 14 Gtr for it but I have a choice. A white with red 15 v8r with 19k on the clock for 69k or a 15 vert v8s grey with white for 74000 with 2k on the clock. Dealership is willing to swap to r wheels and put them on the vert, which one would you go for. Need Quick response cause my appointment is at 9 and its it's already 4 in the am. Btw I am located in central nj. I also have a alfa 4c. Btw the vert does not have Performance pck

If you haven't already, Test drive both - good times either way. Vert vs coupe is personal preference. Unless your funding expires tomorrow, take your time and pick the right one for you.
I would let them think you may decide to go to another dealer.
My $.02

Good luck!

I am an R man myself, but drive both!

The "performance pkg" is not a big deal. You still have standard/dynamic mode selectability. You just wouldn't have the ability to selectively choose which function to leave in normal mode when you are in dynamic mode. Not a big issue since most of us don't program out any of the features anyway.

I'd go for the 'vert. Don't worry about the Performance Package. I leave everything "ON," anyway. You might, however, push a little harder on the price delta. It's end of season for ragtops. (That's how I got my last bit of price concession.)

Thanks for all the feed back. So you guys think 74000 is still to high where should I be in your opinion

Where are you located? That will have a substantial impact on the price. Nationwide, it looks like $70k is a typical asking retail price, and $67k is a typical private seller asking price (low mileage cars). SoCal prices on a vert much stronger than Boston this time of year.

That's the most unusual looking "coupe" I've ever seen. Otherwise, it's gorgeous! Congrats

James Tootle 10-01-2016 03:47 PM

Screw the vert, how about that garage floor! Congrats and seriously what products did you use on the garage floor?

ioneabee 10-01-2016 03:52 PM

I think someone must have taken an angle grinder to the roof

Nice car. Congrats. Be changing the flag on the right soon? :icon_captain:

SinF 10-01-2016 04:38 PM

Congratulations, very nice car. With 2000 miles on the clock it still could be on original oil fill, so I recommend getting your oil changed right away unless there is documented recent oil change.

carzaddict 10-01-2016 05:17 PM

must be one of those special coupes where the roof goes down :)

Hey James,
A few years ago, I did a Race Deck tile floor for a customer. Below is a poor picture taken a couple of minutes after we finished (and before we mopped it). Reasonably easy d.i.y. 1 day project.

Prophizee 10-01-2016 07:01 PM

I ment convertible...so used To saying coupe Hahahaha. Yeah took me around a month to get fhe floor done a lot of sweat blood and tears. But thanks for the compliments means a lot and veey proud to be a part of the community. Been a huge member on gtrlife and 4c forum hope to be the same here

JackMac 10-01-2016 07:53 PM
