on a related note, I saw two STI' on the local road and one was being driven by an older guy w/ wife (maybe 50ish) and the other by a young lady with her family.
And they all seem to be totally stock!

Hmmm, definitely difference breed of drivers than Evos.

BTW, STI with older guy was trying to show himself by cutting in front of me. Well, I had set him straight...

 

I shopped around big time in my area but it just so happened I was on business in Boston and bought my 04 GSR w/ SSL & sport meter kit was 30,148 OTD (after taxes, tag, ect) from an older salesman.

 

. <---- worlds smallest violin playing

 

Heh... There are two MRs in Cherry Hill NJ that the dealer added $15,000.00 to the MSRP for a whooping $52000+ price.

There are people out there that'll pay, the dealers are trying to make a killing on suckers and they often do.

 

im sorrie but daym you paid that much on yours. i got my 05 electric blue w/ ssl package for 31,900. the best thing about it is that it was the main show room car. i was about to get a white one w/out ssl package and it was used. but the guys was really cool and offered me this. plus i think i got it just at the right time, becaus those guys have to like sell an x amount of car in a month or something to get bonuses.

 

what the hell is a dealer availability adjustment!!!!! thas bullshieeet!!!!!!!!!

 

geez.. i don't feel so bad since i got my '04 for 28 out the door when they were askin 35

 

I would have bought another car. Are all cars overpriced in vegas?

 

i dotn know maybe

 

i was told by the dealership where i purchased my 05 GSR that some in kendall (miami) purchased an 05 MR for 45,000. now thats crazy.

 

$38k for an MR? Were you born yesterday?

 

Got my RS for ~$27K including TTL, not including down payment. Not sure if it's a spectacular deal or not but I thought $300 over invoice was a fair price at the time. Especially since the RS's seemed pretty rare at the time.

For you sub-invoice guys how do you do it? I managed to get my price by starting a price war between 4 or 5 dealerships. Lowest bidder got my sale. It actually worked pretty well too. Since I was doing most of it through email with sales managers I just kept forwarding messages back and forth until I hit a number I thought was good. From there I pretty much showed up, signed a few papers and was driving away in less than 20 minutes.

 

there are a number of ways a dealership can still make money even though they are selling you a car under invoice. The two main ways are through the manufacturers holdback and manufacturer sales quota incentives.

 

Alot of BS or misunderstanding going on here. First of all an STI 05' brand new for 28 OTD (dealer would have gotten more on EBAY), second of all its a friend of friend. Good info. Total BS. Next lets all laugh for second at some of the wonderful comments here. I am just waiting to read someone write they paid $24 for an evo and turned around and sold it for $29. It seems that when people talk about what they paid for a car it is always lower then the actually number. The sad part is the lack of value from those here who own the cars. If an evo mr isn't worth 38 to you what is? assuming you can afford 38, and please don't say an RS for 31. I can appreciate that car for those who are going to turn it into a non daily driver race car. For the rest of us saving thousands to have a car without some comforts is not realistic. Oh my check this ebay item 4546302649 out that would be 26,817 plus dmv fees for a stock used 03 on EBAY (if the buyer was local). WTF that must be wrong.

 

That's called Stealer F^ck You Fee. Do you get special sause for that Pork???
