Different region (west coast), different distribution and number of competitive dealers will also determine the available low selling price at your location.

If that was the car I wanted, I would be happy with that deal. If you really want to save a whole 3%, go to California and buy one.

What makes the numbers that people post little more than meaningless is that a dealer can give a customer a supposedly great price on purchase of the vehicle, but there are so many other ways that the dealership can pad its profits. Among those are undervaluing a trade-in, selling the customer very high mark-up dealer-installed options, selling the customer a maintenance plan, selling the customer a paint protection application, selling the customer interior surface treatments, offering unfavorable (to the buyer) finance terms, offering unfavorable (to the buyer) lease terms, etc.

Since there is really no way to eliminate all of those variables, it is difficult to assess which deals were "good" deals and which ones were not.

Also, FYI, if you live in Iowa, you are not likely to come close to the deals that the people in California, Texas, and a couple of other markets are getting. From the buyer point of view, the worst markets are the ones in the middle of the country stretching from the eastern Great Lakes region to the Great Plains. If you go through the 50+ pages of this thread, you will see consistent differences between the prices that people in California, Texas, etc. are getting and the ones that people in places like Illinois or Nebraska are getting.

I took the car as is, with no dealer-installed options, maintenance plan, paint protection application, interior surface treatment, or finance.

certainly agree on that statement, with only two dealerships in the entire state i think if you really want the brand you'll have to give in somewhat.
