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.

(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.

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
