What's everyone paying for RAs?
I paid $17,850 for mine. Sun and sound package and they paid off my eclipse. The sticker for it said $21900, but after a week of chewing them down and leaving a few times I finally got them down. They even gave me the sob story about " I hope we can get out of the eclipse what we paid you for it". Yeah whatever!

27k for all that stuff ain't too bad. Add another 7000 CDN and there's the WRX.
Oh, don't forget the premium gas prices ($$$$$) and the insurance payments ($$$$$$).
As much as I'd dump another 7k to get a WRX, it's just SO expensive to keep. Especially when discounts are small and rates are high.
27k for a Lancer... hmm... is that with taxes too?

Well that's not bad compared to what I'd be paying for mine...notice how I said that it was gonna cost me ~$550/month(can't remeber the exact amount), well I thought that was for 72 whihc would've been reasonable being that 28500(out the door) for the car + the 6000 loss on the trade = ~35,000 and over 72 would be $39,600, but turns out that's over 84...that's $46200...now I love the RA, but no way can I justify paying that for it...plus another $270/month for insurance...It's not even the price of the car, nor the options I put on there, it's the fact that I'm getting screwed on the trade whereever I go...that and look at the numbers I don't think they're actually giving me the $9500 for my trade like they said...b/c I've worked out $36,000 at the int. rate over 72 motnhs and it works out to $530/month...but now it's too late to really do anything besides say yes or no b/c the deal is in the finance office being looked at...guess that's why they rush you in so fast...so that you don't notice that your being f'd in the *** untill you're out the door and gone...and I can't go to a different dealer b/c already tried the other one it town and they were even worse to deal with...unless I wanted to drive 2 hrs to Calgary, but then what's to say it would be worth it...

...apparently my only hope for a reasonable payment and reasonable term would be to get rear-ended in the Saturn so that it's written off, but not my fault so that my insurance doesn't get completely insane...but then that means lossing my perfect record of 4 yrs no accidents, no tickets...yargh....
"Oh Lord, Why do you mock me so?"

the even worse part is that either I take the hit now, or it's only gonna get worse b/c down the raod in 6 motnhs or a year the car's gonna worth even less...I knew I shouldn't have gotten the Saturn.

Or maybe when the 05's hit, and they mark down the 04's...?
Unfortunatley I bought mine in October when they first hit the lots. So I missed out on all the smoking deals. At least they paid off my trade-in. The payments suck, but I forget all about them when I am driveng
I just paid $19.1k for a Sportback RA, about $400 over invoice. I was trying to get them down to $19k even, and started walking out, so they removed the $200 Dealer Locate charge and threw in wheel locks. Overall, I'm happy with what I got which was closer to invice than sticker. After TTL, it's about $20.2k and I'm pending 1.9% 72 month financing, which shouldn't be an issue.

Well right now I"m sitting at 15,500 that comes from $2000 military discount and $1000 I want the damn car discount (So far) The sticker on the car says 21 but he started me at 18,500. They are also going to pay off my jeep at $2000 over book value. Ontop of that I plan on going back this week telling them that I can get a mazda 6 w/ the 200 and whatever for a good deal so thanks but no thanks...I'm sure that'll knock some $$$$ off it. No sun and sound package though..I don't like sunroofs...Anyhow I"ll post once the deal finishes.
