What is the price at cost?

noodles · 08-14-2009, 02:13 AM

Ok so without making a huge post about how this came about, basically a dealer totally messed up my car two years ago and have been trying to settle it every since with the warranty company. I have been in talks with the owner of said dealership because he feels bad for me having to go through this huge hassle. He told me he would sell me any car i want "at cost". First thing that popped in my head was GTR but i know thats not going to happen with how much i make lol. so i was thinking 370z. Which brings me to my question, what is the "at cost" price of the 370?

I'd be interested in hearing more, but just from what you wrote I don't really see how he's giving you anything.

If he sells a car to you at cost he's not losing anything. What kind of settlement is that?

Another approach would be to calculate the depreciation of your car over the last two years had you been driving it, as well as any out of pocket expenses related to this event (rental car, replacement beater, whatever). Subtract that from his 'cost' price on a new vehicle. That would be a better settlement IMO.
