Hail damage I recently purchased a new loaded P5 auto with significant hail damage at the Freeman dealership for $15,000 + TTL, and that price included repair. The job they did is so good most people can't tell that the car was ever damaged! :)

I just got my P5 at Freeman. Dealt with the online salesman who gave me a pretty decent quote before I even went over to do a test drive. He's a nice guy who, once he figured out that I had done my research, didn't yank me around when we negotiated price. If you want his name, PM me.

hey...is this a stock unit? If so...what is the part number on this? [/B] It's standard in the 2003.5 P5 cars. From what I understand, the hatch area has been slightly changed to fit the spare/subwoofer. I haven't seen anything but my new 2003.5, so I'm not sure exactly what's different.

The dealer bonus is still $500 in Texas, in Edmunds you have to put in your zip code to determine your area's incentives. I did an exhuastive search for a P5 with auto and ABS side airbags and there was only one within a days drive from my location. There are tons of non-ABS around, but I...

O.K., getting my new Laser Blue P5 on Monday, who do I have to beg, borrow or steal from to get two of these terrific stickers?!?! (bluep5)
