That's about what I paid for my fully loaded RWD. They don't seem to be dealing much on the fully loaded cars - you've got to leave ML and/or Nav out to get a price break. Of course, I didn't press that hard - I wanted the car and thought the price reasonable for what I was getting...and for the fact I was getting it so soon. I'm sure by January they'll be cheaper, but who wants to wait that long?

Congrats on the car.

I know how it is with new cars. Everytime I go looking for a car, I start with the used market. Somehow, I always end up with a new car. Never fails. This has happened with my last 5 cars.

The guy said on-the-road for around $55K, so it's pretty much on par I would think, not a great deal.
Ray Catena, don't they put their super big ugly dealer emblem on your car? That alone would be a show stopper right there. On negotiating, I would say cut $1000 off just for me to have your advertisement on my car.
