Keep in mind the 2017+ comes standard with active variable suspension so it gives you the ability to soften or stiffen the suspension depending on the road condition.

The 2017 is very low miles so its tires and brakes are new. Also, AVS is a nice to have. I would target that one. Probably, you can get $2k - $3k off at best, but doubt the dealer would go any lower than low-50s, if even that.

one of the main selling features of this car is it does not really need its warranty like some of its competition. Good to have, even better to not really need. Not at all suggesting what you do or don't do but this is a reliable car given the performance level. Same with miles. Japanese miles are not like German miles.

Lol I can assure you that you don’t need a warranty on an RCF. especially one with less than 20k miles.

I've bought and sold over 20 cars in my lifetime. Made some good deals and some bad ones. What I can day is this... 1. You have to be willing to walk if you aren't getting your desired number. It's good that you've identified three different possibilities, so negotiate on all three cars. So many factors are in play. How much do they have in to the car. How long has it been there. What's the auction price. Are you financing through them or no. And on and on. So you have to be willing to negotiate. That brings me to 2. One person's good deal may not be another person's good deal. A guy getting a great deal on a 2017 at one dealership doesn't mean you can get the same deal at another dealership in another state. Too many variables are in play. It would be hard for any of us to really know how good of a deal you are getting, though a low mileage 2017 that is loaded and L/certified for under $50k would be pretty much a great deal no matter what.

Set your budget and your must have in the car and stick to those ideas and go shopping. If you cant get what you are looking for, then either your must haves are too extensive or your budget is too thin. You can get a very nice used RCF with a budget of $50k, so there are cars out there.

i just offered the dealer 46k for option 1 and they told me once the vehicle completes the inspection, they will let me know the final numbers.
