We got our RA for 18K$; had 8K miles, recaros, rocford fosgate, but no nav. To tell you the truth, the mitsu dealership didn't know what they were selling me... didn't even know about the turbo so I kept quiet.

Dealerships can be very stupid and not know what they have, although being a Mitsubishi dealership like he said is kind of weird for them not to know.
I bought my 2005 Evo MR at a cadillac dealership. It had 500 miles on it. barely used, still had the little injection mold nobbies on the tires. At the time the MR's where going for around 37,000 OTD. (A couple of my friends had bought the same car a month or so before).
I ended up picking it up for 26-27k ish and 30k OTD because the dealer had no idea how to price it or what it really was.
After I signed the papers the finance guy asked "It seems like this is a good deal, what do these cars usually go for?"
Me: "about 5-8k more, keys please!"

I kind of feel like the BMW dealer I bought mine from was a similar situation.
Almost all of the used RA sportbacks in the area were going for $22k + for a 2010 base. The one I bought was probably one of the best condition used ones in the area after looking at almost all of the listed ones. I felt like just a hair over $17k was too good of a deal to pass up so I bought it.
The dealer didn't haggle with me and I kind of feel like I probably could have got a better deal if I tried harder.
