Brand New - 2005 SSR 6 Speed "Smokin Asphalt" (Pictures added)

I purchased it on 27 July and will pick it up today at around 1:00 PM here in California. I worked the deal for almost 4 hours yesterday getting the price I wanted. Sticker price was $50,010.00 and I ended up paying $39,604.00 before tax and tags. The dealership had it on their lot for 211 days and lost $1,900.00 on it, at least that is what the owner told me. I think I got a great deal for the SSR I wanted, I had to have the 6 Speed. I also had to have the Smokin Asphalt paint. I cannt wait to go pick it up today.

Here are the options: License plate bracket, Cargo netting, Cargo compartment trim, Chrome wheels, Body color accent package, 1SB Prefered equipment, Integrated running boards, Transmission 6 speed.

Why the hell did you buy a cheap truck?

I would have paid at least 50 grand for it. I don't like cheap stuff!

:lol

 

[2005SSR6Speed]

I can say It would have cost $50 grand. I hate cheap things also, I just couldnt turn it down at this price. Is this a good price in comparison with others?

Me Too!

Just got mine last Saturday. You're gonig to love it. It won't compare to your 530i for and handling( I have a 2004 X5 4.4i whose 0-60 times are .3 faster), but it is just so cool to drive. I've never had anyone come up and ask me about my BMW X5, but just driving the SSR from IL home to CA , every time we stop at a hotel people come up and ooo and ahh ask if it is a custom truck, everyone is always looking (staring really) pointing. People pass on the freeway honk and give thumbs up, it's just plain fun. If you are like me your BMW will be a yawn after this.

Congrats and welcome to the "cult". John317

Did you get it? Huh? Did you get it?
You must be out enjoying it instead of worrying about all these people waiting to hear!
Hahaha.

Congrats!

Welcome aboard. You stole that car. :lol The dealership is probably going to call the cops. :lol

I also have a 2005 Smokin' Asphault. But I got it for only $2,000 under sticker. But, I did not have your patience. I goy my '05 in October of 2004 and already have 18,000 on it.

"WOW" what a great ride today!!!!! I picked it up and spent the day driving up and down the coast, everyone was looking. We stopped for a coffee and met an older gentleman that has a Yellow 05 Auto and just sat there over a coffee talking about them. I had a 2002 Corvette Z06 and this feels alot like the Z06 did. It feels heavier and actually rides smoother, the handleing is great! I am real glad I waited. I will take some pictures tomorrow and post them here. It is 8:00 pm and I just got done detailing it, I have to take it in for a few small dings that are from being on the lot for 211 days. I cannt believe it was on the lot that long?

I had a 2005 Jeep Rubicon that I was going to trade in but decided to sell it to a Jeep dealership down the road from my house. It took them about an hour this morning to look at it and they bought it cash from me. Everything is going my way??? Hope it stays this way for a while!!!!!

My doctor says he has to submit a letter to the California DMV because of my spinal cord injury and that the DMV will be taking my motorcycle license. I will be selling my Harley if anyone is interested?

I bet you bought it in Temecula.

HI Smokin,
I too live in Vista and about a month ago I bought a yellow 05. Welcome to the club!
I think I almost bought your SSR.. they tried to get me to buy it but I had my hart set on the yellow 6-speed. You'll see why when we meet.
I've seen the old man in the other yellow..not too long ago we both ended up on the 78 at the same time and cruised to San Marcos side by side, admiring each other's identical SSRs. Does he live in Vista too?
Zack :cool

I saw him over in Carlsbad in his 2000 Vette. His wife has taken over the SSR, he says he likes it better then his Vette for performance and ride. We do need to get together and look at each others cars. I am on the south end of Melrose Dr by the new Home Depot. Tell me when you are up for it and we can meet at a Starbucks close by.

Here are a few pictures I just took, the sun is glaring off of it real bad.
