I am so proud. I bought my 2001 Proton brand new off the lot 128 miles on it in June 2002. I got it for $23,000. I did the search and found a ton of VX's still new at this time. 60 of them were priced at $23,995, I let the salesman talk me up the $5 difference. The others were priced up to the regular sticker price. Not only did I get a great deal but the salesman followed me 20 miles to my house in my Amigo and his girlfriend followed him in her car to get me and my extra car home. We went round and round I wanted the Proton as it is close to Steeler colors and it was the only one I found. We talked about about the cost of going to pick it up I told him I had frequent flyer miles he said I would have to drive it all the way back, I told him I was looking forward to it, he said $24,000 and I said sold. I used to sell cars never pay sticker and never buy the first day.
