If you own the trade in then sometimes they issue a check right away, but usually they mail it to you because they have to print the check out from business office. This usually takes about a week or so.
in my case, a week

is it just me or is $120k for a 550 a steal??? I thought these things were quarter-mil cars brand new.... and then it's not like ferrari resale value plummets... especially on a 2000.
am I missing something?
I'd much rather have this than an AMG SL

One other thing with the picture that looks a little odd is what why a Subaru dealership would have a Porsche 911 parked in front....assumingly for demonstration purposes. While Subarus obviously share Porsche's flat-four and six engine designs and AWD, the rest is apples and oranges............nothing Subaru has in the American market is in the 911's league as a sports car...........even the STi, which perhaps comes closest.

I did a search on Ebay. Most of the 00' 550s are going for UNDER $100k.

This dealership always has some awesome cars out front, but the 550 takes the cake.

The Porsche is going for $77,000

I was going to say that I thought the 550 was a good deal. That is odd how the 550 has lost over half of its value in only 6 years. I think they maybe made 5000 of thoes things.

I visited a Nissan dealership that had a (new) at the time 911 turbo for sale in the show room. It was the owners. He just garaged it there.

I guess he was waiting for a family to come in to buy a Maxima to say HEY lets take a 2nd out on the house and get this thing. we can take turns driving to the store.

But if you think about it, the car has to go somewhere...
