Hi all, Happy Monday! I sold the Z3 (sniff boo hoo it was a beautiful weekend in NoCal) last Friday, and join the ranks of those waiting for delivery of 99.5's. Got a new aluminum silver 2.8QMS coming. Mine is status "ED" (or is it DE) and I've been told it's in TX being prepped (?) and should be here to the dealer April 10th. So I THINK I'm 12 days away.<br>Also got a FREE LOANER from the dealer, they are awesome (not as awesome as the AWSOMA4 Steve S. for helping convince me to join you all.....). It's an Eagle Vision (read: HUGE car, HUGE engine, and gas is at $1.90 a gallon in my 'hood today), not bad :). I'll give you details on the salesperson & dealership name if you email me separately. They're quoting 4-5% over invoice for cars ordered or "in transit". From reading the board here I think that's a pretty good deal.<p>Can you all advise me on what bank or finance company you're using, and the interest rate on a 60 month loan? I've been quoted 7.00% at AoA, no fees, and I'm wondering if that's the best around......<p>Look forward to meeting other owners at the next NorCal chapter event..... Steve S said Saturday's event was a huge success! This is great, the people here are friendly, the sun is shining and my new car is COMING SOON!!!!<p>:)<br>(too much Starbucks this morning.....)<br>

Best I could find was 6.75 with my credit union. The dealership looked around for me and got 6.49%. AOA financing would have been higher.

but you should also check your local credit unions, they tend to have the best rates.<p>To compare, the UCLA credit union is at www. ucu.org.

Rich, Can you email me privately? I'm in the same area and planning to buy the same car...<p>-Darius<p>dgalinis@ptdcs2.intel.com
