great price! congrats

2 more, once again at night. You know, I don't know why but for some reason every time I look at this car, I think of the VW 'Fast'. It reminds me of it - good or bad, so I put up a pic of it as well. It might be the fact that the top of the head looks like the hood or I just think fast when I see this car.

congrats and you got good negotiating skills.......

any plans to tint?? or KW coilovers

I currently do not plan to tint, but a suspension upgrade will be in the future. Every car I have owned since 95 has had wheels/intake/exhaust/springs (some combination of all) so eventually that will happen to this car. I will probably wait some time though, to see what comes out, and the experiences.

As for negotiating, you just have to be patient, and be willing to walk out. I started out at MSRP, then went to 1% below MSRP, to 2% below, to 4% below, and finally to 400 above invoice. My best recommendation is deal with 5-6 dealers and feed each best price off of the others.

Congratulations!

Any insight as to why you went with a base instead of the touring model?

Money. I really only care about the performance, all of the additional leather and stereo stuff I don't need to pay for.

Touring would have been that much more, and I was stuck with a budget.

:tiphat: Congrats on the purchase!
