2013 Summit White LT 1.4T manual w/connectivity MSRP $17,990 - $700 discount - $750 USAA rebate + $450 new tag(shameful)/title +6.5% FL sales tax +$55 FL tire/battery surcharge. $695 inescapable dealer fee which included window tint, nitrogen fill, window etching and fabric protection.
Both deals involved trades, which reduces sales tax and makes it impossible to compare OTD prices. I don't think I necessarily got the BEST deals, but I believe they were fair deals, receiving above KBB "excellent condition" trade in value on both.
I probably could have made a better deal on a 1.8 LT auto sedan, since 95+% of dealer inventory in central Florida is this configuration. There are very few hatchbacks, even fewer turbo hatches, and fewer still turbo hatches with manual transmission and sunroof. I spent several hours searching dealer inventory online and found a total of 9 turbo hatchbacks with roof (4 LTZs and 5 RSs) within 300 miles of downtown Orlando.
