I didn't even pay MSRP for mine... I wasn't able to get the Navigation, but without that $1700 pricetag, I still got mine for just over $20,000. But yes, I agree with themistocles, the "market adjustment" is just a load of it. That's only there to make you think that you got a good deal after you get it knocked off -- not true. The Si is in demand, but you still don't really have to pay MSRP. Think more in the range of within $1,000 of Invoice. So yea, the "adjustment" never even entered the question, and because I used a car-buying service through Costco (btw, I also got mine in Oregon), I was able to get a reasonable, pre-negotiated price without too much work on my part. However, if you check the other forums, most people were able to get about my price, or better. Exactly, I was $20,484, plus $169-ish for title/registration. No tax in Oregon, so I luckily saved ~$1.5k. Keep in mind, I did actually get the sedan, so the coupe is ~$200 cheaper.

Thanks kork13 & themistocles, That helps me out a lot. It makes me feel like I could afford the car. Well I am off to find a dealer that has one in stock. I'll let you know how it goes.

That's pretty normal for vehicles. At night, when the headlights are on, you automatically dim down the gauge lights.

Does anyone have experience with the VSA system in the new Si's? I know on some cars it kicks in way too early and some it helps out. My dad's Magnum has it and he says it keeps the car in line when he is really thrashing it.

sarnman, i've found myself using it a couple times, and from what i can tell/feel, it's pretty helpful. I've never had it start to take over my steering or anything like that when i didn't want it to, but i have felt it start to play with things when i'm taking turns faster than i should be...  but who can blame me when the car's just that fun??

As of today I am the proud owner of an 07 SI in Nighthawk Black Pearl. I'm in Southern California near Santa Barbara and had a great dealership experience that was so much more painless than I had expected. After researching the car to death and every other competitor (mazda speed, mini s, gti, etc.), test driving the SI sealed the deal. I paid $22.5 OTD ($20,500 base + TTL) and am happy with the deal, especially since the sales guy was great.
The car is beautiful, in & out, and handles like you wouldn't believe. I love it!!!!

I'm glad to hear that it isn't too intrusive. I know I've read some Lexus reviews where the stability control completely prevented spirited driving.
Btw, I asked this in the mpg forum, but what kind of gas mileage are you guys getting from your Si's? I'm still trying to decide between getting the Si and an Ex. If I could get 27 mpg when I really wanted to by driving lightly, I'd definitely get the Si.

My friend, if you want to drive lightly, you can get over 30. At least by my experience, with about 40/60 hwy/city driving, I usually get about 30-31 mpg if I don't play around too much. I drove from Oregon to Colorado right after I bought mine, and got as high as 37 mpg. On this tank of gas, I'm having alot of fun, and it looks like I'm probably getting around 24-25 mpg or so... so it does fall off pretty sharply if you start high-revving and getting fast accel's, but even 23-24 is pretty acceptable (for me at least) if you're having alot of fun at the same time.

get an si, youll be much happier. lol, my mom bought an EX like 2 months before i got my Si and she even regrets buying it. Better brakes, better handeling, more power, good gas mileage. on the freeway i get around 29-33 depending how im driving. If i actually used cruise control i could prolly get better.
