But if you catch a dealer sitting on quiet a bit of these beasts on lot you may be able to negotiate 30k or a lil less OTD. Search your dealers and hopefully you will find a dealer willing to lose a few thousand on 1.

Standard chart! Since I'm the first to create 1
Assuming todays market
New GSR w/SSS package OTD So yes taxes are included in my chart.

32.5k+ Bad deal
32k could have done better
31.5k Decent deal overall but your pushing it... Prolly is what most Mitsu dealers are willing to do, especially those dealerships who generate a lot of customer traffic and don't need to lose several thousands on a vehicle. Should have shopped around a lil more.
31k You Did ok
30.5k Good deal
29.5-30k Great deal! May have to hit several dealerships to get this price. Look for a dealership with many in stock, or a low amount of customer traffic
28.5-29k Dealers having a firesale! Buy 5 at that price! You may have to travel pretty far for this price, but you could find a dealership struggling and willing if your willing to make the far travel.

All numbers assume you want 0% APR 60 months

Ok, a little common sense here...

If the dealership is having a hard time moving new cars and have to drastically discount them to do it, they are most likely not going to give you top dollar for your car either. It's unfortunate but, that's pretty much the deal.

As far as begging for help on the dealerships goes, they have a dealer locator on the website. Start calling around to all of them. It's the end of the month and they might be a little more willing to work with you then normal. Don't take some guy on the internet's review of a dealership as the gospel for them being good or not.
