Unsold 2008 Speed3, what's a fair price?

bought one yesterday with the 2500 rebate, it's real but over today!! I ended up 21,200 for a white GT with some addons. beautiful car.

no they have $1000 rebate and $1500 dealer cash, there jerking your chain thats it just one day.

i could have gotten a grey MS3 for 19,000+ but they wouldnt give me the 0% financing...
 
Just got my 2008 MS3 sport for $18k on Monday... they also gave me $3k over kbb trade-in value for my evo... I think they needed to get rid of it lol.

You got rid of an EVO for an MS3? They got a decent deal because they can flip that EVO in a flash.
 
Dealers are looking to get rid of anything leftover from 2008. My mom just picked up a 2008 Caliber SRT-4 for 18000. Sticker was for 24,730. Brand new, sat on the dealer lot for 384 days and they wanted it gone. Actually had 3 others there as well. Bottom line, anything leftover and with the economy, you can pretty much steal if the dealer wants to move inventory.

Yeah I got rid of the evo for the ms3. Needed something smoother for a DD and I don't know how fast they'll flip a 2004 evo with just under 100k miles on it. Might be harder to get power now but 300hp doesn't seem to tough and that's plenty for going fast while driving to work

I emailed three different dealers about cars they had on the lot (2008.5 metro gray MS3 GT's). Prices are before TTL etc.

1.
Options: Cargo organizer, Floor Mats, Compass/mirror, wheel locks
MSRP: $25,393
Offer: $20,999
Savings: $4,394

2.
Options: No options
MSRP: $25,025
Offer: $21,495
Savings: $3,530

3.
Options: Compass/mirror, Sirius radio
MSRP: $25,435
Offer: $21,546
Savings: $3,889

I'd prefer the third one since it has Sirius radio. But I think the price is a little too high compared to #1. Maybe I can do something about that...
 
Selling the S2000. Actually probably trading it in. Such a blast to drive and a total-chick magnet, but it has absolutely zero utility.

Exact same reason that my Trans Am was replaced by a MS3. I sold my T/A privately and gained $2500 over what trade-in would be.



My used '07 MS3 Sport with 7k miles cost me $18k when the '08 models came out lol... part of me wishes I'd waited, but at the time, the '09s had not been announced and I didn't think there would be an '09!!
 
S2000 is a chick magnet? Hmmm...really? Harley's, Corvette's, Ferrari's, Porche's, Ducati's, and other exotics --- but never a Honda.

I would have told dodge they better give me that caliber for $5000 otd with 100k warranty if they want to make money and not go under haha

Vettes and harley's, chic magnets? Vettes and harley's exotics?

Sorry man but a vette is not a chic mag nor is a harley. Sport bikes are chic mags. And a mustang is more of a chic mag than a vette..look at how many chics drive them
 
i have heard many girls say they want a stang. i havent heard any say they want a vette. unless she was like 50 ha
 
I'm to lazy to read this whole thread so if this topic is done oh well but I got my 08 ms3 gt for $19,900 otd about 3 weeks ago

hooray! :)
finally somebody approved me for a car loan with a reasonable APR. being a first time buyer without a co-signer in todays market sucks.

now I just need to play with the dealers a bit and see which one gives me the best price. hopefully by the end of next week I'm the owner of a new speed3 GT (naughty) :D
