BUMP


Just got an 2006 Enthusiast Six speed Daytona Blue
Invoice: $28,459
Price I payed: $27,600
OTD price (based on MD tax,reg/tags/proc ): $29,290
Options: side airbags, splash guards, floor/trunk mats, cargo net, seat backpack organizer, wheel lock

Did I get a good deal? Like everyone says...who cares as long as you are happy. I am happy and I KNOW I got a good deal considering I payed almost $860 below invoice for an 2006.

Thats around how much I got the car for, except I also got the extended warranty...

 

included or extra?

 

Did you have a trade-in or you just bougth it out right???

 

No trade-in.

 

I just put down a deposit for a new 2006 Enthusiast coupe, 6-spd, with aluminum kick plates, splash guards, cargo nets, floor mats, trunk mat, and Side/Curtain airbags for $28,300 which is $344 below invoice. I also bought the 5-year warranty extension which I paid too much for ($1228) but I didn't feel like haggling that one. The $28,300 includes destination fee, but tags were an additional $125, and then of course 6% sales tax for Pennsylvania.

When all is said and done, I paid $30,644.68 for the car, and again that includes the 5-year extended warranty and side/curtain airbag package on top of the other typical goodies that come on most Enthusiast models.

According to Edmunds, invoice price for this car and options(without the extended warranty) is $28,644...so multiplying that by PA 6% sales tax and adding $125 for tags takes me to $30,487.64. I paid less than $200 more and I got the extended warranty, so I feel like I got a good deal.

I think it is a buyer's market in the winter, and a seller's market in the nice weather. If you're gonna get one and you live in a snow-prone area, now is probably a good time!

Congrats!! I'm looking to put down my deposit on the exact same car this coming weekend. Was yours on the lot or is it going to be a factory order? If so, what is the ETA for it to get here? My dealer told me if I ordered it now, it would be here around the end of May.

 

It was actually already en-route from Japan, and they were able to locate it and divert it to their dealership. Luckily it gets here mid-March (not sure the date yet) so my timing was good. I have also heard that new orders are due in around June. See if they can find one already on its way into the states!

Thanks. I'll let you all know how it goes tomorrow. Its exciting, but it kinda sucks not getting the car for a few more months. Oh well, I can wait and I dont want to risk driving the new car on snow and salt covered roads.
