Just remember a Demo, is a dealership rental car as is a loaner. Depending on the mileage, 50 -75 different drivers have driven the car, knowing they had no financial interest in the car, just like driving an Enterprise rental car. Adjust the price with the dealership accordingly.

Out of curiosity: In what state are you located (that you paid that price)? Do you attribute that price to doing the purchase the last day of the year?

Did you negotiate that price prior to revealing your trade-in? It's a great price if you got fair value, but they could have made their money back on that end.

I'm in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. I think being near the end of the month, and the end of the year helped some, but slow auto sales in general made a difference as well.

merlion0821, did that 32,395 include destination? Any other costs besides taxes, title, registration? Did it also come with side trim molding?

Yes, that price did include destination, and there were no other costs besides the tax, title & registration. The dealer claimed I was the first one to get a selling price into their "reserve". I asked him if he was referring to their holdback, and he said yes.
It did not come with the side trim molding.
So far, I'm extremely happy with the car.

Good job merlion0821. I offered essentially the same price on Dec. 30th as a "take it or leave it." The response was "but we won't make any profit." The dealer hasn't sold one of its basic models for over 1 month.
Soon they will wake up to the reality of the market. Their position is like someone with a home purchased 2 years ago saying, "I can't sell if below $____ because I would take a loss."

It was in metropolitan Phoenix, AZ
