Should I have taken it?

Just walked out on a dealer that went to $26,781 on a 2005 Silver GT-AT?

I felt I could get more for a 05 that was 28880 (invoice) (no MAC financing)

There were no other options.

Oh I also noticed what looked like rust inside the wheels, he told me it wasnt and that it was something else (despite the display model in their office not having it).

I got 28,451 out the door (w/ tax, license, registration) for my 2005 Black Manual with Grand Touring.

The rust on the rotor hub is normal. Some people paint the hub to keep it clean.

Three things...
mistakes that I made...
ones I'll be correcting this spring.

1. Silver
2. AT
3. Paying too much

A loaded 2006 can be had for way less then $30K.
A loaded 2005 should be around $25K this spring if you play your cards right.
It's a buyers market.

Two things I have found with most car dealers I have negotiated with:
1. You can always walk away, think about it, and come back and resume negotiations
2. They will always try to tell you someone is coming in tonight interested in the same car

Hope this helps,

Maybe because it seems like half the freaking cars on the road are silver now. Maybe it's because of the "curse". Or maybe it's because everyone knows that the RX-8 looks better in white
