Looks like about $700 under invoice. I'd say you did pretty good.

Looks like a good deal! Did you buy at the end of June? Maybe that helped buying at the end of the month as well.

Oh, great, that makes me feel good...we really liked our dealer, he seemed very straightforward with the numbers and didn't give us too much of the back-and-forth haggling-shpiel. I'm happy to hear we got a good deal then!!
We bought on June 30th, but had already looked at the car we wanted at his dealership a few days prior....

$16,600 for 2009 Silver Sport w/ AT in St. Louis, Missouri

Awaiting delivery of 2009 Silver Sport with automatic transmission and no other options (including no "popular equipment package"). Price agreed to on June 26 was $16,600 out the door (including the $670 destination charge and the $1750 incentive but before taxes, which are paid at licensing). My dealership is trading one of their cars to another dealership for this one. This was a cash offer with no trade in. Hope this helps someone.

$16,600 OTD is a GREAT price for the car w/ auto trans. I want the SAME car w/ auto trans, no other options needed. I am in New York metro area, emailed 4 dealers around here for $17500 last week. No one responded.

Dealers hardly respond to e-mails, I'd phone them at least but more likely than not they won't make you a deal until you actually meet them face to face.

Er... isn't it more than that? According to Edmunds, invoice is $21,229, or $21,979 including destination fee, for a grand touring. So a price of $19499 (including dest. fee) would be about $2400 below invoice.
Unless you are talking about invoice factoring in holdback fees, which I have no idea about.

You probably right about "dealers hardly respond to e-mails".
But I have to disagree about "they won't make you a deal until you actually meet them face to face".
Many people got the final quote and/or fax for OTD price before they go down the meet the salesman. A friend of my bought a Honda Accord, agreed on OTD price before he met the salesman face to face.

Your not taking into account the $1750 Cash incentive, so it actually is about $650 under invoice.

I guess it may differ in different geographic areas. I did all my bargaining for my M5 Sport AT via email with the dealers, and agreed to the price ($17,144 OTD including all fees, title/tags, and taxes) before visiting them. If they're eager to sell, they know those who email with specific prices in mind are serious.
