What the GT package offers is the optional i-ActivSense option which provides the Smart City Braking and Smart Braking which will stop the car by itself if it senses a collision is very probable.

In the US, Smart City Braking (low speed) is part of the Tech package. You are correct that Smart Braking (high speed) is part of the i-Active package.

In order to get the IActive package you must also purchase the Tech package with the GT. You cannot get IActive without Tech.
I wonder is it possible to take the $500 credit for the financing and then pay off the loan the next month without any penalties?
I thought about that, but I wasn't paying cash (financed through credit union) so my only option would be to refinance through them, but at a used car interest rate.
Thanks for the feedback and letting me think out loud. Went for a crystal white pearl GT w/Tech. Everyone is in love with it, including me
Just over 31K after taxes/fees.
Hey guys! So, this is my first post. I've been reading all of your posts and am so thankful for all of your help so far! I will be purchasing a 2016 GT FWD with Tech Package. I have been emailing multiple dealers to try and find the best price. So far, the best I can find is 30,600. Out the door. Now, this might be a dumb question, but I will be buying my car with cash. Does that make a difference on the price? Such as discounts I won't be able to get? Etc? I live in Northern CA. I would SO appreciate any help!!
Also they're giving me 13600 for my trade and I owe 12,236. So putting that together, what do you guys think? It seems if you take my trade equity of $1000 away, I'm just $1k below MRSP.
Keep in mind the amount you owe has no bearing on whether this is a good deal or not. The only two things that determine how good any potential deal is:
1) Price of new car
and
2) trade-in value of used car.
The amount you owe on the old car only matters insofar as whether you can afford the new car (not the fairness of the deal).
This is an example of how small details can change the context of how people perceive the price by quite a bit. Is this an AWD version or a FWD?
