ParticipantPlus about $13,000 carrying costs so far plus the closing costs, so I’ll bet they’re into it over $700,000. These flips are going to get rarer, so I’ll throw in my guess:
They’ll drop it $20,000 by the end of February, then it’ll be at $749,000 by the end of summer as they try to get out at cost. They’re waaaay to far above the comps and I can find houses in Carmel Valley with almost twice the square footage going for that range.
That’s my bet for the office pool.

ParticipantLonestar2000,
Congratulations! I got the S as well in Midnight Blue. I just saw a brand new Mossy Xterra in Night Armor going north on Encinits Blvd. about 3:30 today, maybe it was you? Looked too clean to have been out of the dealership long 🙂 Where’d you end up buying yours?
Looks like you got me beat by about $200 (and without the free alarm too… curses!), but I’ll admit that I was stuck on the color.
Enjoy, and take it easy breaking it in!

ParticipantUpdate:
Thank you all for the great advice! I decided to use carsdirect.com to buy the vehicle and was working with them, but they couldn’t find the exact car because the main and secondary color choices weren’t available in So Cal. We decided to check out Mossy Oceanside to find another color to give to Carsdirect.com and there it was, the original color I wanted (apparently it must have just arrived because it wasn’t even on the dealer’s online inventory until the next day).
Bought it from the dealer using the Carsdirect price.
I’d really recommend using Carsdirect.com, they give you the upfront pricing for your car before you give them any information, and after giving them your contact info., they are very “non-pushy”. They’ll call you and confirm what options and such you selected and search their inventory. I didn’t make it past this point, but I was impressed with how easy it was. They always ask “Do you want us to call you back?”
I also found a cool tool on the DMV website I’d like to share that calculates your registration fees and tax so you know what the final amount will be at the dealership. I used it prior to my purchase (changing the final for the rebate and trade in) and ended up within $22 of the final total:
https://mv.dmv.ca.gov/FeeCalculatorWeb/index.jsp
1. Calculate this based on your price before rebates and trade in.
2. multiply your rebate and trade in by .0775 (yes, the state taxes both)
3. Subtract rebates and trade in
4. Add back in the tax you calculated on step 2
5. add $45 doc fees
6. Subtract the $100 bonus the dealership gives you for saying something good about them on a housing Blog.
This should be exactly what your total comes out to, if not, then something’s wrong.
This is the second car I’ve bought from Mossy and I was again impressed by their service.
