I went to the dealer here in Des Moines and they quoted me a price of $27834 + ttl - just under the MSRP I called up on this site. I emailed another dealer in Sioux City, IA and was quoted the lowest possible price they could sell at - $26000 + ttl ($100 below published invoice found on this site). I took that price in to the dealer closest to me and they wouldn't honor it - tried to tell me there were hidden fees which I knew there weren't. I was told the lowest they would sell at was just over $27000 (supposedly $500 over their "invoice" according to them). Needless to say, I have one on order with the dealer in Sioux City.

| Forgot to add, my Eclipse GT had automatic trans, a $900 MSRP option, so I actually got in at about SKYYV's reported price in post #, which was with manual trans. Carbuyingtips.com suggests getting the dealer to show you their factory invoice and checking the manufacturer's kickback for flooring (inventory financing) costs, which should come off the dealer's cost, but I didn't have time to do that. | |

So this car is listed at 11,000. 65,806 mileage On the site, there was a free history report. My friend said there was some red flags like: the person who owned it driving 30k miles in one year. also, lien records were found which means the owner had financial problems. finally, what does "corrected title" mean? it says that corrected titles were found. Anyways yeah.. the specs on the site look good to me but I'm super ignorant. Any input about this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Replying to: frank476 (Dec 20, 2005 11:36 pm) Corrected title: That could mean anything.. from a court clerk typing the owner's name in wrong... or, putting the wrong model on the title.. or possibly, something more serious.. The car is six-years-old... I wouldn't worry too much about the mileage.. You aren't planning on buying it, without seeing it first, are you? I wouldn't consider it, without a mechanic's inspection.. regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums |

We will be picking up our 2007 Eclipse Spyder GS Ultra Red Pearl automatic this afternoon. We are getting it for $400 UNDER INVOICE!! We are paying $25,076 plus 6% tax. No other junk/ad-on fees, other than the destination charge of $595. (No way around that.) It is a base model automatic (no leather or other packages), but that's fine by me--I am thrilled, and can't wait to pick up the car in a few hours. I'll be happy to post a follow-up when the car is in the driveway! We are in Atlanta. Other dealerships were not anywhere as willing to work with us. We spoke to the GM at the dealership in Roswell, and finalized the price over the phone. What a pleasure!
