That's a good price - I recently offered $20k plus my wife's 2003 Mercury Sable for a nicely equipped '08 Aero Sportcombi XWD. Salesman acted like I was $10k away; figured I was probably $4k low and he'd at least talk to me a bit. Nope, but he has my number and expect surely he'll call back.

If you don't hear from him, I would suggest trying again without the trade-in, which may be a complicating factor. If you add to the 20K what you can get from a private sale of the Sable, you may have a better shot. Good luck.

Turbo X by sameem

I was offered 10K off a Turbo X Combi with an MSRP of $45K. Would 29-30K be plausible?

A dealer outside Boston is advertising a Turbo X sedan, MSRP $46,100, $14K off, sale price $32,100.
 
$30,000 seems plausible.

I think I saw that one. It was a manual with Cold, Touring and Navigation packages. That one is now $34,600 as "June Special". They used to have a manual with Cold and Touring advertised for $29,840 or something around there (MSRP $43,955) so depending on the options you can definitely get ~$30k or less.
 
Right now they have a 2008 Aero XWD (Auto, Cold, Touring, Metallic Paint) for $28,450. If you can't get a Turbo X, this is the next best thing (even though there are several things the X has that the Aero doesn't).

Actually if you can find a 2009 Aero V6 it has the limited slip differential that was on the Turbo Xs but not on the 2008 Aeros... that would be a nice way around the Turbo X if you either a) wanted a color other than black or b) can't find a Turbo X
 
The 2.0T, however, still does not come w/ the limited slip in XWD form.

Yes this is true. The only thing is that you aren't likely to find a 2009 Aero XWD for even close to the same price as an 08 or probably even a Turbo X. The rebate on the 2009 9-3s is $2500, while it's $6500-8500 on the 2008 models.
 
Other things that the Turbo X has that Aero/2.0T don't are better brakes+suspension, lower profile (10mm I believe), unique grill, rhomboid dual exhaust (vs. circular), lip spoiler, 18" unique wheels (vs. 16-17"), jet black metallic paint, and the eLSD (except on 2009 Aero XWD).
 
I should stop thinking about the Turbo X so much because I'll likely never get one. Don't think my girlfriend would like it if I spent all my money on a car instead of saving for a house.

I've actually seen a lot of "demo" 2009 Aero V6s for around the $30-$32K mark, which is not far off from the Turbo X especially considering that many of the '09s have less than 1,000 miles on them.
 
the price gap isn't as bad as you think between an '08 and an '09; if you're willing to buy a "demo" or one that's been registered already as a "GM company car" (there seem to be a lot of those floating around) then you can get a heckuva deal. Plus, with sales as bad as they are, you could probably get the dealer to discount another $1500 easily and throw in the CPO warranty...
 
I'm not a fan of Jet Black paint, so even though it works on the 9-3, if I bought I would rather go for the '09 Aero than the '08 Turbo X.
