What vehicle is this you are buying and where are you located? I think somewhere in the US as no way that is a Canadian price with leather and all that other stuff.

$ 18,927.90 is the total for everything of P5.

$ 17,978.00 is for the P5 without tax and rebate.


Anybody who have purchased a protege5 lately/before please post ur opinions.

welll

i'm trying to find stuff on that rebate
what i HEARD from other people on this board and another board is that there is 1150 off and 0% financing for 4 years
but maybe that's not offered in your area
or doesn't even exist since i haven't seen anything offical

the price depends on a few things
the salesperson, the car relating to the dealer, and how many other dealers in your area can offer something similar for a better price.

i honestly think you can get that car for 17200, maybe even 17 flat. shouldn't go higher than 17450. all prices before rebate and tax. i might be wrong.

welll

i just thought of a good idea!
take my car as an example
i just bought it 2 weeks ago

also silver
old automatic
moonroof
moonroof deflector
6 cd changer
floor mats
cargo net
the upgraded security system
cassete deck
wheel locks
hmmm
i think thats it

sticker price was about 19,5
invoice he claimed was 18,040
my price without rebate(because i went with 2.9% for 5 years) was 17,750.... with tax 19,100.

so maybe you can use those numbers to figure the price a bit.

some ideas though... maybe they just price a bit higher down in cali than here in chicago
also the dealer may be charging you a lot extra for leather since it is one of the more rare options

I know I should not really be replying to this as it is in the US and the Canadian prices are a bit different. But to give you an idea of what some of the prices are up this way in CAN $:

Automatic transmission - add $1000
Leather seats - add $1500
Heat for leather seats - add $500
In dash 6 CD changer - Option, not sure
Cargo net - Option
Car mats - included in Canadian vehicles
I don't get what the monotone paint application is, as I don't think the P5 has a two tone version yet. Sorry if this is not very helpful.

cargo net

a net in the back trunk area
not too big
basically you can put things under there so things won't fly around

0%

in my area i spoke with salesman and they were offering 0.0% for 4 yrs... i then got him to knock off the 1150... and yet i am still in the considering process... what holds me bck is the lack of aftermarket parts for this car... it's kinda slow... but looks so bad ***... oh well.. we'll see
