I will say this after private cash and rebates and dealer discount , I got my ordered 18 Orange Spice Smoke Storm Recaro Ebony wheel red brakes for $19678 before tax and lic. $5400 off sticker. I did not worry about the doc fees, etc...
I had researched prices enough to know I was getting a good deal and I did not need to spend time trying to knock off another $500.
Especially with what these cars were selling for on the West Coast. Take away my options and the car would have been $16,700 for a base model. Thats dirt cheap in California.
Also did not get hung up on monthly payments focused in final price witth as much minimal haggle as possible. In my case pretty much no haggle.
I had spent time talking to dealers long distance as well in the end it served me well to go to a local SoCal dealer and order exactly what I wanted and working with the Fleet Manager was a breeze. Maybe an hour to 90. minutes total between placing order and picking car up,at the dealership. 4k down and Financed on my own tax and lic paid separately at signing of papers.
