Default Re: Buying From A Dealer - Help Please

:-/
I want that car.
I have found a thread on this forum about programming a key and that some people ordered keys from their dealerships for <$100
I looked up on tire rack the price of that front tire with a chip in it - $152
So $252, they wanted to charge me $759.

Looking at the car, the headlights had some fog on them at the top.
DIY get those out?
There is a small chip in the driver side tail light (corner), no biggie, but it bugs me.
I can't find ANY tail light covers online for the crossfire! what the heck?!

So, 10K for the car (price they agreed on), and it would cost me $252 for a new tire and a new key.
DIY the lights myself, not the tail light, and programming the key.
Not too horrible.

The car has had 4 owners, and has rust on the back latch.
Both bumpers have obviously been repainted.. looks like the paint started to chip; can't see it unless close up. The car does have a small scuff or two by the bumper.
Thinking about re-offering and just buying the key and tire myself.
Should I lower my offer?

I really like it!

Think I can get the dealership to buff the lights for me?

These are the tires on the car; I only need one for the front driver:
