Pre-oiled

[online]

I received my filter yesterday and it came pre-oiled. It took 6 days from placing the order to receiving the filter. It go here before my car which is due in on the 20th - SLE 2005 convertible, absolute red, black top with nav. fyi I got it for 2K under msrp.

WOW, great deal you got and I much prefer the black top on a red car than the tan one. I thought most convertibles were being sold for MSRP. Best of luck with your car! By the way, why are you using Online as a name here? It's time to be a bit more imaginative.

I appreciate the good words. Most of the dealers refused to budge at first. I did my homework in order to get the price. I actually ordered a 04 back in July. The dealer stated that he could get me the 04 with color and options I wanted. Come to find out the dealer called me last week and said that they misread the inventory sheet and that it was a 05. They offered me the 05 at $750 more than I negotiated the 04 for. Further negotiations got them down to $400. I could have insisted on paying the original price of the 04 but didn't go down that rat hole since I was still getting the car for 2K under msrp.

Thanks again...fyi sorry I meant to post this under my k&n post. As far as my tagline goes its I agree its unimaginative but it coincides with my EM which keeps it simple

Better anyway to have an '05 because of the better stereo. Now get a TRD Rear Sway bar on that baby because I heard there is a huge improvement in cornering with it on the convertible. Care to share any secrets to the great negotiating you did?

Hey Slingshot

See my post under "New 2004 solara owners... what did you pay"...page 7. If anyone is interested I can send you the spreadsheet (excel and or staroffice). Formulas are imbedded so all you have to do is plug in the numbers.
