I got my 2011 GSR + aluminum shifter for 1400$ off list (about invoice) + $22,700 for my 2010 RX8 sport with 2,000 miles on it (I only paid 21,750 for it new, after rebates and negotiations, haha!) and I got 36 mos 0%!
I feel like i got a heckuva deal, and so far the EVO smokes the RX8 in every conceivable way...MPG, Quicker, Room inside, AWD, TORQUE, although I admit the Rx had a nicer interior. The Rx8 was making funny sounds in the brakes and front end + I got tired of being left in the dust by: WRXs, EVO's, 350z's and anything with any amount of torque....

I've been in banking my entire adult life. Here is the best advice I've seen posted....

As stated already, dealers are guessing that you'll be approved based on your application profile, credit and experience of their finance manager when you let them handle the financing.

It sucks but this is called "SPOTTING" and happens every single day across the country. It is a sales strategy to take you off the market quickly.

This hits the head right on the nail. The problem with kids these days is that they use caulk, instead of chalk, at least when it comes to learning. They either think that caulk will help it stick better and/or fill in the gaps, or they simply have no idea what chalk is, being raised on whiteboards and power-point slides.

Just yanking your chain. You and Rob have made the best points.

I enjoyed making shadow puppets with tranparency projectors in grade school
