My dealer has offered to compensate me for ordering the wrong interior on my 2007 GT roadster. He ordered black rather than frost leather. I am willing to wait to get the color combination that I ordered. As the GT roadster does not come with Rays, as does the coupe, I suggested that a set of these wheels, and appropriate tires, at his expense would mollify my displeasure. He agreed to split the cost with me for the upgrade.
My dealer, a well-known western Connecticut shop with a racing heritage, can’t seem to figure out how to compute the value of the stock wheels and tires when subtracting this amount from the wholesale value of the new Rays and tires.
1) Can anyone help me with this calculation?
2) Assuming that they are unwilling to assume the stock rims and tires into their parts inventory, I was considering keeping them and selling them to someone on this board. Any suggestions as to a fair price?

 

Damn it! I thought you where selling.

I pre-ordered my 2006 the very first day pre-ordering was open back in 2005. I tried to get them to put the RAYS on my Roadster, but they said it was not going to happen.

Arghh, at this point I'm considering getting the Nismo LMGT4s. Technically they are cheaper than buying the stock RAYS brand new.

1/2 price on the factory Rays from the dealership is probably like a brand new set of Volks. I'd tell him to go eat it and give you the car you ordered. It was his mistake, and you shouldn't compromise what you want because of it.

 

Many thanks for your comments.
My dealer is ordering the correct car for me and will compensate me for my additional waiting time. We have not yet finalize the "compensation;" therefore, do any of you have any suggestions regarding what else I might ask for? The car is already fully loaded with all available options plus sway bars, after market Blue Tooth, clear bra, extended warranty, high-end security system. I am an very good customer, having purchased two new Muranos there over the past 18 months for my wife and daughter. My price for the '07 was just $300 over invoice, so there is not a lot a room to move there. Moreover, my wife won't notice add-ons that come with the car when it is delivered. If I add "unnecessary" modifications later ...... that might be a problem.

 

In order to not let them eat you on the pricing (you never know their retailer cost)... You can ask them for just a set of the RAYS rims and you will take care of the tires yourself.

 

ask them about nismo add-ons?

 

+1. Have you seen how much the Rays are if you order them through the dealership?

 

+2
your gonna change the stock rims later on anyways

 

Tell him to give you the rays at NO COST. Or just ask for a brand new Nismo exhaust system already pre-installed or the Nismo kit.

 

Welcome to the forum and congratZ on the GT when they get it right.

 

High end Security System? Is it sold at the stealership?
