Yes..thats the deal. It was 37.6 MSRP. I haggled and played hardball with a lot of dealers in the SoCal area for about 2 weeks and got it down to 36.7. That price is basically 500 over invoice plus TTL so i think it was pretty agressive from what i've seen.

I don't understand.

Originally you said you got the car for $36711 OTD but now you said you talked them down to $36,700, so this means you got the car for $36711 BEFORE tax and title, correct?

If so you really got the car for around $39,600 OTD, after taxes, title, and other fees.

Yes i talked them down to 36,700 OTD. I was dealing in terms of final price not car price.

My total amount paid was 36,711 including TTL
