Good price?

I got my dealer down to $16,800 U.S. for a Pro5 with the Sunroof, alarm, cargo net, floor mats, destination charge. does that sound good? Did anybody get any lower?

It's hard to have somebody gauge the price when they don't know the specifics.
Woops! Sorry, Pro5

Yeah. I paid like MSRP $19.5K. Only thing I got more than you was the 6 disc changer and cassette.

I don't mean to be rude seeing how you're an administrator and all but ummm...maybe you should read his first post one more time...a lil slower. (unless he edited it and if he did then i feel like the ***!!)

But yeah that is a very good price with all those options. 16,800 was what i saw the car as basic.

Blue,it will match (almost) my other car. I have to wait until next month for it to show up, but I am traveling a bunch for work so I would not get to enjoy the P5 until then anyway. I am sure the dealer will find a way to charge me more

considering the invoice in my area for a P-5 with NO options is 15,800....with the list of options you got? I say you are on the ballpark for a fair deal. if that price was OUT THE DOOR...as in TTL included...that would be even better! lol for that is about $1G

I wanted a base model 5 speed with no options, and did some online searching and found I could buy them for $15,349 (everything but TTL) at 2 or 3 different dealerships, all out of my state.

When I went to talk to the boys at my local dealership, I told them I had already found my car and could buy it for that price, so our negotiations began there. I really would have preferred a "dealer demo" with a few miles on it, to further lower the price, but he told me all 3 of his demo's were automatics.

When we began searching for a basic silver 5 speed, lo and behold, out of the 21 P5's on his lot, the only car they had which fit my description was an overlooked "demo" with 5300 miles on it.

We negotiated a little more, and I bought it "out the door" for $14,649, - EVERYTHING included but TTL. I made the sales guy throw in the floormats for free

Out the door I paid something like 17200. The only thing I got was polished wheels which were like 500 extra. Sounds like your getting a pretty good deal .
