CMC is Chicago Motor Cars? I was looking at a car there and they would not budge a single penny. Then tacked on some high fees for ceramic protrction…pissed me off lol.

How long ago did you go? Market is changing, the used car market is definitely not as hot, even as it was 3 months ago.

It took a while and it wasnt easy, but this car was sitting.

I would have been pissed off too.

Its weird I havent bought a used car in a while that wasnt a complete restoration. Usually its either new or so far gone I am rebuilding, nothing in between lol!

Not long ago but the car was also fresh on the market.

Yup. That's them. Again, great inventory and high net worth clientele who think negotiating is beneath them, which means they don't budge on price...they don't need to. Correct, market is correcting and prices are dropping, but CMC will always be higher than the market.

Did a few maintenance things today as well as one cosmetic.

Didnt take pics but replaced the wipers, they were a bit streaky.

Next replaced the air filters, not sure when they were replaced last but I tend to like to do a ton of maintenance anyway. They were not that dirty, so they probably didn't have a ton of miles on them. The left is the old one. BTW those back screws are a pain!

Going to replace the cabin filters as well as the oil over the weekend. The oil still has 6000 miles on the clock but I like mid-term replacements.

I put my winter wheels on this week and since I went with a 20x10 square setup the rear offset was a little less aggressive, especially since I went with 275s all around, so I put on some 12mm mach snell spacers to even them out.

Out and about. I bought the cf rear trunk spoiler I need to get installed soon.

Few more small updates. I changed out the fender reflectors to painted ones. I also installed the OE carbon fiber trunk spoiler.

Some outside shots before the coming storm.
