ORDERED: Let the (impatient) wait begin...

[Jtpmedic]

So, I'm going in tomorrow to do the paperwork and get an updated appraisal on the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan SE R-Line. They appraised it for $32k in November.

I'll owe roughly $17k after my original 2021 Gladiator trade.

I did some homework this weekend:
Original VW Dealer: $29k
CarMax: $35k
AutoBuy (dealt with before): came in @ $33k, showed them the CarMax offer, said 'OK' $35.2k
WePayMoreAuto (the sign spinners when you pull out of CarMax): $35.5k

I'm figuring I'll owe roughly $1200 tax on 17k, but if I can get them to match the CarMax offer, I'm good to go!!!

OK, made some progress yesterday.
1. Went in and see the railcar made it into Florida yesterday AM.

(got so excited that the pic sucks).

2. Finished the Paperwork.

3. Sold the 2022 VW Tiguan so I can get the funds sent to my bank and be ready to write the paid in full check.
(sold the VW for 35,500. As soon as I had the check I handed him the Title and Monroney Label showing 34,900). Got me 7500 miles for free...

Sooo, I'm driving a ghetto Bentley for a week.

Dealer says it's thru Lakeland today.

It's that last 77 miles that's gonna kill me...

so, me being me...

I'm changing directions with the wheels.
Instead of the 22" black snowflake knock-offs (I'll give someone local a HELL of a deal on them, they're new, but the lips took some scuffing in transit, I don't think it'll be noticeable once mounted, and we put them on the balancer to check, they're true.)
I'm going 20" hardcore appearance.

just cause...

Looks awesome. Congrats!!! Hoping since we live in Ft Worth we will get ours sooner. The wait is killing especially since I am borrowing a vehicle since I sold my truck.
