$23500 Brand new in July of 2006, and that was almost out the door, because of my STI trade in ($23,000, paid $29k for it in early 2004) which was $1000 over KBB, there was virtually no sales tax. 06 Sport with auto dim mirror, wheel locks, cargo net, and shock alarm sensor. I think I got one hell of a deal for that time frame, not being leftover. They were at my mercy on this negotiation, and I milked them down as low as humanly possible.
They weren't gonna let me leave without a sale, and it took a long time to work this low, saying I love my STI, and don't wanna lose it, ect ect. They wanted this sale and I got this deal because the STI demand used at that time was INSANE (selling ability well over book value), and they saw an instant $2k profit. They already had a buyer for that car for $25k, and it was in instant reselling shape with 28k miles. hehe
The $3500 cash back incentive helped. This car's failure was my gain, and I love it.
