Does anyone know where the $1150 rebate / 0% for 48 months is available geographically? I don't believe it's available here in MS.

You shoudl be able to get that car for 17K easy and then take off the rebate, unless you do special financing. Also, if the car is Yellow or SIlver, I understand it would cost you more, because they are the highest sellers. I would offer the 17K, if they don't want it, walk out. They will most likely call you in a day or two to get you back in. This works best if you already have the financing and they can't work that into their deal.

I got a bit more than $1000 off sticker and 0.0% financing for 2years. I could have gotten $2000 off sticker without the 0.0% financing. Mine's a 2002½ p5 with sunroof, floormats & cargo tray thingy as the only options. Don't let them talk in circles about this option and that option. Get the sticker price with what you want and have them say how much $$ their willing to drop. Check with another dealer and say they'll give me this, can you beat it. Don't jump the gun with a large purchase like this (even though they are a great deal). The cars will still be here, and the promotions will only get better the closer you wait till the 2003 model year.

P5 por me, yes aftermarket parts are slow, they usually are with new cars. Especialy with all new designs. Parts are out there though. Trust me, more are to come. I have e-mailed a few suppliers and their response is usually "we will be coming out with somthing", so just hang in there. Also, mts3, i'm in Tennessee and i got the 1150 rebate

I got mine without the automatic but plus the ABS/side airbags (and minus the in dash CD changer), and I paid $500 over invoice for mine, total of $17,800. I had the $750 rebate mailed to me, so if they had applied that, it would have been $17,050 before taxes.

Good luck, and enjoy!

Larry....
I am in California too......Silicon Valley. I got the refreshed model.....right when they came out...straight from the factory...The one I got had all the options you listed....plus abs and side airbags...and wheel locks. I paid $18440 plus tax. license etc.
I'm sure I'll have people telling me I paid too much.......but according to Edmunds and CarsDirect pricing....I paid below invoice....so I was happy. I probably did pay a little more than I had to cuz I went straight with CarsDirect.....didn't wanna bother with negotiating with the dealers. If I paid a lil more cuz of that....so be it...at least I didn't have that stress! Also...I do think the area one lives in plays a part.
In any case....I think your price is alright. Good luck to you!

noooooooo, not another Kenji



Larry, I think your price is fair since you're getting leather, the 6 cd changer and those other things. Some people aren't counting in the extra $ for automatic (why, oh why? hehe)....

Maybe ask them non-chalantly when the 2003 models is coming out while negotiating hehe

good luck

Larry,
No regrets.....doubt you will either. Once you have the car....you probably won't even be thinking about how much you paid! Just don't come on here after saying how much you paid.....cuz there's always gonna be those people that want to gloat about how they got a better price etc.!! Just enjoy!

MP5.....sometimes you can't get the car that has EXACTLY everything you want so you've gotta compromise - unless you want to wait...and wait...and wait... I didn't want the 6cd either......for just as you say....I plan on replacing everything......and I did want the polished alloys......didn't get my way on those options.....but they both happened to be the same price.....so....I just went with as the car had the other more important options that i wanted......sport-auto, leather, moon-roof...etc.
