Re: I think I did all right.
Not bad. I think we all realize we could have done a little better, but you have to be willing to walk away.
I picked up a 2007 Limited coupe MT6 with 12.5k miles for $16700 in September. Dealer came down from $18k and I suspect if I had walked and come back in a couple weeks, I could have done a little better. 6-speeds are not popular in Chicago area and winter was coming. But it was a color I wanted, two years warranty remaining, and I had driven 150 miles to see it. Given what's happened to the economy since then, I probably could have picked it up for near your price if I could have waited a couple months and it did not sell.
BTW, I had been looking for several months and found a 2005 with 40k for $14.8k and a 2004 with 5k for $15k. Both graphite with manuals. Given the mileage and warranty, I felt I got a reasonable deal.
