The pricing is different down in the South. There seems to be a less competitive market down here in the southeast. Thr prices that some people got up North or even on the West coast were not even close to the pricing that we get in the Southeast. So far, i have probably gotten the best price so far with a group buy at a dealership for $28000.
You're probably better off driving over here and then picking it up and driving it back. I paid 30,000 out the door and i have 6% sales tax.

By the way, if you want that good price. I may have to take you in there because that's a group buy pricing. Just PM me and i can probably hook you up. (at least i'll try to).

By the way, that paint protection stuff is just expensive wax. Well... not expensive for the dealer but expensive for you. So in other words, regular wax that you are paying 10 times what it's worth for.

THat's not too far away. I'm actually just North of Atlanta. I've been to Chattanooga a few times and it's not too bad of a drive.
If you want, i can try and hook you up with your group pricing since it wasn't too long ago since we bought ours.

This looks to me like over $500 worth of dealer profit. Dealers here up North charge a fee for paperwork, but it's more like $50, not $350. I've never heard of Anti-theft registration, but it sounds like one of the grossly overpriced serial number etching deals. Worth maybe $20.

These used to be "dealer packs." All they do is make money for the dealer, and give you very little, if anything, in return. Just my
