Great, just talked to them now.
He said he is going to get back to me tomorrow afternoon with a price.
He is guessing around $30,000.
Does that sound about right for all the options?
If so, I'd rather go used. I wand to be under $26k.
What do you suggest?

If you're the type who likes upgrades that $10k-$15k is more than enough to pay for a turbo kit and some nice suspension pieces.
Fortunately for me, I'm looking for a red one, with red/black interior. Seems to be really easy to find. For me nav is a bonus, but I need one with the aero package. Although I suppose if I get a good enough deal I can buy that and have it installed separately.

Per my initial post I am the new owner of a red 8. My initial choice was silver, however, the only dealer in a 100 mile radius was being unreasonable on the pricing (didn't want to move off of MSRP because there is a $2,500 rebate). I defaulted to the red color & ended up getting a loaded GT w/Nav (MSRP of $35,500) for $31,250 - the $2,500 rebate - by far the best deal I could negotiate with any of the dealers who had loaded red 8's.
At any rate, being diligent, flexible and leveraging the heck out of internet quotes save me a bunch of time and (I think) $$$
Good luck -

I would still be on the lookout for a used VR/red-black, GT/MT with NAV in the low $20s.

I'll take Silver or Red, it just needs to be manual.

It's usually still a tough search. I found people made errors in many listings so I quit trusting them. I was looking for blue, but I looked at every photo just to be sure they hadn't clicked the wrong box or entered the wrong color. Hard to believe people would be careless about listing a $30,000 car, but that's what I found.
I made a *ton* of phone calls and finally started keeping notes on a pad by the phone so I could keep all of the leads straight.
Isn't Sunlight Silver the most common color? Have you investigated the cost of buying and installing a red/black interior? You may find that you can buy a used SS GT w/NAV and change the interior for less than the cost of a brand new custom pre-ordered car.

when I used autotrader its tough to find cars with two toned interior and Nav. But if I use cars.com I can put in a keyword Nav, and its 10 times easier.
I found a few on cars.com I am going to call on. I found a LOT more red with red and black interior than Silver...
