Rode up there today with two bank checks totalling $12.8k. The sales manager made me an offer I could not refuse.

We had agreed on $12,871 out the door including $600 in dmv fees and $810 transportation as well as their transaction fee of almost $500.

That was for a 2014 model.

"$94 more and we will sell you a 2015 that we have here on our lot today.

I said "absolutely" it will be worth a grand more if I sell it used.

I had to take a leak,in the bathroom I had a panic attack, got back to the sales manager and told him "do me one favor, tell me it isn't black", it's a dark gray metallic, one of my favorite colors.

$12,967 otd with $1900 in added fees above the window sticker of $12,995, not including the freight charge of $810. Total window sticker $13,805 plus another $1100 in dmv and dealer fees, so about $2k off list, even though the rebate was $1250, versus $2000 for a 2014.

The whole transaction was finished in 25 minutes, exponentially faster than any other dealer purchase I or my wife have made in our lives.

The dealership is Shirlie Stark in Fredericksburg Va. I met Shirlie's daughter Pattie who runs the store. In the total time I was there I think they delivered 5 newly sold cars. The longest delay was getting it washed, vacuumed and putting on the plates.
