a lot of guys here got it for lower than that, and that was months ago before the IX...now that the IX is here i will try and get it lower, plus w/ the 0% and gas card(if u can get both)...if they won't budge, then wait 2 months then get the IX for invoice

well i kind of need a car now...my talon broke down and i only have an option of the low financing or the card but yeah..they are offering the 8 for invoice for me but i am trying to see how much lower they can go...

i want a ix with out the ssl...but they only have the ones with ssl and for that price i might as well get the MR they have...but i cant afford the 36+ price tag on that...i am 22 and i already have a 400K mortgage to worry about...and the invoice on the 8 is about all i can afford...and that is pushing it

They can do better. Dealers really have limited bargaining power b/c the new model has been released, and you the consumer should be able to get a better price.

I would honestly shoot for 32k OTD, and if they don't just walk out.

Anybody know what the invoice price for an evo8 w/ ssl is?

Four of my friends have bought '05 Evos from Dar Cars in MD with in the last 2 months. Only one went with the SSL package and paid $32K OTD. The other three walked away at 29.8K-30K(Max) OTD. The last guy even got free gas for a whole year or some deal like that!!! Good luck, and remember... You have the upper hand with 05s...

$32K OTD should be within reach.

Lego.......I seen a EVO 9 selling for just over 30K before taxes, tags, etc. Don't buy a 8 for 32 OTD. Let me know if you want the dealer for the 9.

This dealer is located in Randallstown, MD. Almost bought an 8 from them but was too much back in the day. Check it out. Might be worth driving from Virginia.

i dunno, I got my SSL below invoice, at 32k or so. TTL added more to that, but in TX, the taxes are plenty and annoying. But in MD, you should be able to get it at LEAST 32k OTD since the IX's are already here. I got my VIII-SSL in August, to give you an idea. . .just bargain hard, and Don't budge. . . .

You do realize the Skyline GT-R is going to be 60k+ right? Unless you mean the 350GT, which is just the G35 here and a total piece of ****.
