Sound like a good price?
Well, I just spoke to my insurance company. They feel "confident" they will pay out this week for the theft of my truck on 9/9. They did not give a dollar figure yet. But, I have been doing a lot of searching and wanted to see if this sounded like a good deal. Trying to stay within a certain $$$ figure, want low payments.
1st choice:
2006 Daytona Blue (primary color I wanted)
5-Speed,
1LT, 2.2
Chrome Package
Running Boards
Upgraded mats (not sure if all, or just front or cargo)
This is what they quoted me:
$17850, MSRP
- $500, Rebate
- $900, Additional, (guessing holdbacks, and said "about")
=$16450
+ $565 Delivery
=$17015, This was a quick rundown on the phone
My research:
$16353, Invoice
- $500, Rebate
- $865, Holdbacks
+ $565, delivery
+ 5%, his commission
=$16302
From most I show, 3-5% is very acceptable to earn on a vehicle sale. This vehice is also 450 miles away from what he told me on the phone and he quoted $300 to bring it here. So I was going to start at $16K at work up, once (if) I pass $16.3, I was going to throw in the factory fog lights as a twist.
Think I'm myself, or a good plan?
Like I said, looking for low cost here. This will mainly be the vehicle I drive to/from work. Will probably get some weeking running around since it will be better on gas than the wife's MPV and maybe the occasional road trip. I have found a couple of others, but the Daytona was my first choice in color. Other's I have found that were also 5-Speeds were:
06 SE, 2.2, for $17054 over the phone, could probably get it a little less, but would have to travel 600 miles round trip for it.
07 1LT in Sport red, with chrome, upgraded stereo (with changer) and XM for $18544. Have to visit the inlaws for a weekend.
Ironically this last dealership also found a 06 SE, 5-speed about 80 miles from them they could get for $17297, then found out it was the one I had already found for $17054
If these don't pay out, I will probably go for a bare 07 LS 5 Speed.

If it were in your place, and buying right now...I would have a hard time with the decision with a 2006. Since the Daytona Blue is no longer available, that makes it a Limited Edition in my mind...and then the Spring Edition is limited as well. Had I waited, I might have considered the Spring Edition because that's a pretty snazzy looking car and has some things not available on the others...but I would be pretty hard pressed to give up my first choice of orange.
The blue one sounds like a good deal. I've got a 1LT with a 2.2L 5spd and mine was $18,024 out the door, so that sounds like a good deal to me. Follow your heart first and your checkbook second.
