With few regrets....

Well, tomorrow I pick up my new Acura RL. I tried, honestly, being the owner of a 2001 9-5, to upgrade to just a new 9-5, but I could barely get any dealer to act as if they were interested in selling me a car.
I wrote an email to the local dealer: "What is your best deal on a 9-5 with the 0% financing for 60 months?" (and of course specified colors and that I was willing to wait till one could be found.) Got a call back, wanted to give me $2500 off MSRP, but did not want to discuss the 0%.
So I put a note out to regional dealers through Edmunds and asked the same question. Got a note back from a Denver ( I am in Salt Lake) dealer offering a price. I write back: "Just to be perfectly clear, is that with or without 0% financing?" Never heard from him again despite a second follow-up.
So I am off to Acuraville, where I have been before, where at least they are interested enough to tell me what the deal is and stick with it, and I know it, too, is a very good car. Oh, and my daughter gets my 2001 9-5 lpt with 37k miles on it as a gift, which is a good thing, for her, and for my future ( I hope) grandchildren. It is a terrific car and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. My wife still has her 2001 9-5 with just about the same mileage.
Jim
