Buying a new 2007 SUV in April, 2008 by pesco

Hello, thought I'd run this by everybody for some thoughts...
 
I'm looking at a 2007 Kia Sorento EX 4X4 with Luxury option package. It is a demo with 5200 miles.
 
They want to sell it for $28k, minus $3k rebate. I thought it was pretty laughable. I think I could probably get a 2008 for this.
 
On sites like Edmunds I can't get a TMV amount for a new 2007 vehicle. And there aren't any values for Certified Used 2007's.
 
It seems like there should be a deep discount on a car that's last year's model (especially since the 2009's are about 3-4 months away) and since it was a demo car that has over 5k miles on it, it's just hard to know exactly how deep a discount it should get.
 
So here's my math, I want to see what people think:
 
2008 Kia Sorento (NOTE, 2008!)
National Base Price: 24,790
Optional Equipment: 2,760
Destination Charge: 700
Total for 2008 with options: 28250
 
Subtract depreciation (10%, pulled out of the air): 2,800
Subtract mileage ($0.15/mi): 750
Subtract Cash back from Mfr: 3,000
Total adjusted total for 2007 model: 21,700
 
Thanks for any feedback.

Okay, so I bought a 2006 Sorento demo (never titled) with all of the bells and whistles in May of 2007 with 5200 miles. This is the same as your situation, just a year later....
 
Sticker: $31355
Rebate to Dealer: - 4500
Net 26855
Price paid w/o TTL 20800
Net discount $6055
 
Basically I got 22.5% off the sticker price after adjusting for the rebate. Using the same math, a similar deal would put your 2007 at $19557. Be sure to check the internet for the official KIA rebate, it may be higher for the year old model.
 
It all depends how bad they want to get rid of it and how bad you want it.

Just got an estimate on a 2008 Sorrento base LX
  
MSRP: $21,870
  
No additional options:
$15,998 + TTL
 
Is this good?
