If you're willing to drive a bit, try Bachendorf's Galleria, they will wheel and deal a bit, although not sure if they'll go that deep. Also, a friend of mine told me he got a good deal at the AD in Richardson, Govindji's...

Unknown, they don't give serial #, I'd say email/phone them to check. I would assume pretty new...can't say wrt prices either as I haven't been watching this particular model, but there were two price increase last year (none yet this year, though...).

And he has another shop (his main one) here in Midland. He is notorious for being rude and not dealing. Funny this should come up on and Explorer thread too. I was looking for my first Rolex, considering the Explorer and he told me it would be a "regrettable purchase". Never stepped foot in there again. Just my 02s worth.

You will have to clarify what you mean by HEB area. If you're referring to the grocery store HEB, that's a pretty big area since they exist from Houston to Dallas.

Yeah, I'm massively confused. I'm a native Texan and have lived here my whole life, and don't know what the hell you're talking about! HEB area?!?

When someone mentions HEB, I think of Howard Edward Butt grocery stores. I blame it on all the years living in Waco.

And I'm not a native Texan. I'm a Yankee and proud of it.

HEB does mean H.E. Butt stores to most Texans, founded in Kerrville TX, little more than a 100 years ago and HQ in San Antonio. So most of us in Central and South Texas would have thought you meant SA and Austin.

I know some ADs who will give you 10-15% off plus out of state shipping which is an additional 8.25% savings, but they are in the Dallas area.
