Does this seem like a good price?

    I'm in Central Florida, near Sarasota. Went the Internet route for all the dealers in the area, and some as far away as the east coast. Most are quoting me MSRP and not budging because they're saying that the cars are moving off the lot so fast. Based on the online inventories (if those are accurate), I can see that's the case.

    I had one dealer claim she was giving me a big discount. Numbers didn't add up. Turned out there were other accessories that she "couldn't do anything about".

    I just got one quote on a 2008 package 3 for $24,667 though - about $500 off list.

    Can anyone share an opinion on that please? If indeed this is a high demand area, do you think that's a good price? I see people quoting much lower prices here - but I don't have the time to fly across the country and drive it back.

    Thanks!

    $500 off MSRP is good, especially if you don't have to wait to get the car.

    Have you tried getting the Costco Price? When I checked the discount was substantial.

    At least that quote wasn't over MSRP. Good luck!

    Thanks for taking the time to reply folks. I have an appointment with the dealer for tomorrow afternoon to see if this is for real or not and at least put down a depost if so.

    Can't go the Costco route as far as I can see. They're listing no 2007s left in my area (according to their site, won't let me see any) and 2008 isn't on the menu yet.

    I'll let you know how it goes.

    Good luck, and I agree that $500 off MSRP on a 2008 (a model that has only been available for a couple weeks now) is a good price, especially if it is the color and package that you want, and as convenient to buy as you seem to be indicating. :)
