5 % off but from my calculations the MSRP plus accessories would be closer to 63k. The add with Lux package is 60.9k alone.

Whenever I build it online, that's what the price somes to? Not sure what you're looking at? This does not have HUD, Night vision, Lane Keep.

I know how to see what it is, but to convince the dealer is the problem.

That's just a matter of being firm and telling them you won't pay anymore than that and walking out. What you have to remember is the dealer doesn't care at all about the car itself. They want to get you all excited about it so you'll pay more. What they actually care about is getting cars off their lot. If they have A GS or two sitting on the lot I'd be surprised if they wouldn't do a $500 over invoice deal. If they don't have any at all, it may be harder to accomplish.

My dealer had five on the lot and more on the way. He offered it to me for $500 under MSRP, take it or leave it. I left it. He did admit that California dealers were selling for close to invoice.

Did you try internet sales rather than walk-in sales people? Because their incentives and commissions are different.

I thought i was going to have to drive the 2.5 hours to CT tomorrow to sell it, which i was dreading. Then a kid calls me from my Cars.com ad and tells me he wants to buy it for $1000 more that Carmax, cash! He kicked the tires, drove around for 10 mins, and we went to the bank to deposit $24K, just like that.

Walked over to dealer with my wife and picked her up yesterday. $56,482 MSRP, paid $52,763.

Here is the breakdown on paper:
Capitalized Cost Reduction - 1932.96
First Month Payment - 597.99
Refundable Security Deposit N/A
Title Fees N/A (told them flat out I wasnt paying this)
Registration Fees$10
License Fes N/A
Tax on Cap Cost Reduction 171.55
Acquisition fee - 700
Process Fee/12.50 NEW YORK STATE TIRE FEE 87.50
STATE TAX N/A
Total 3500 (Minus $1,000 performance event credit = $2,500 out the door)

The breakout on the amount due may seem weird, but I basically told them I had an offer at 580 per month, with $3500 down (which i did, from a Jersey dealer). I showed them the paper, they had a similar car on site (with the remote start, a little extra). They tried to get me to pay 630 or something. I told them i was not paying more than $590 p/m and not coming out of pocket more than 3500. That was it. They met me at $599 to get the deal done and I dropped my deposit.

I think it was a matter of them wanting to move it, and me having other offers to scare them with. Store manager half jokingly told me I stole a car from him, legally. I had to stick to my guns but got it done. If you have a credit/rebate don't mention it until deal is made.

Thanks to all on this forum for your insight, education and enthusiasm.

Thumbs down Come on!!!

Dealer just emailed me and said my car did not arrive today as planned. They said it's still showing in port and no ETA to the dealer at this time???

I just sold "both" my other cars as of this Thursday...I have no idea what I'm going to do for a car? I don't want to have to rent one and I don't know anyone that has a spare..."DAMN IT!"
