Here's something I never understood. Maybe it's because I'm the only person that drives my car, but what is the purpose of power seats? I can move my seat very quickly to the right postion and leave it there pretty much forever unless someone else is driving it (maybe for service work). Either way I guess I don't get why you would want power seats. They're expensive, more moving parts to break, and slower than doing it by youself.
I've never understand why people liked moon roofs. Maybe you just have to have one. All I know is I had a convertable camaro for the longest time and probably took the top down all of 3 times I can think of, one when I was drivin it home from the stealership, and a couple of times when just driving around in good weather. I'm just not a big fan of driving around with my windows down, top down, moon roof open etc etc. I'm kind of a neat freak with this car and the more things I have open the higher chance it has to get dirty =/
Anyway, I'd go with what a previous poster said, offer them some ridiculous price for the car and then work off that, if they refuse to meet it then walk out and look at other dealerships etc.
My dad did that with his new vette. He got in a wreck in his brand new C06 and the electronics never worked the same. So he wanted to trade it in to get a better deal, My dad said he got a good trade in value, but they were yanking his chain for the price of the new one he wanted. So he offered them 6k below the price tag, they said no, he walked out and said he'd try another dealership that was out of town that had the same model he was looking for. Next day the dealership called him and offered him a price 5k below what they were asking for, then they asked for him to come and talk with him, he went up there and squeezed another 500 off before signing the papers. It's just about showing them that they really aren't the only place you can take your business and then they'll fold. If you act too interested or invested in the car then you're just another sucker they're going to make tons of money off of.

Rupes - what is the purpose of power seats? I can move my seat very quickly to the right postion and leave it there pretty much forever unless someone else is driving it...
Convience and state of the art some electrical seats recongize the driver and shifts the seat for that driver, I assumed base on weight and program. I said the same thing about electric windows but after owning a sedan wo EW man its inconvient to reach across to lower the passenger front or back windows period.
Moon roofs I have one in my infiniti its not used much but when it is its cool as sh&%, especially handing the tow gate person their tow charge through it instead of rolling down the window, its better for them and me, they don't have to bend over.
Not to mention TCS, VCS, power assistted steering, sequecnized gear shifting, 4 wheel disk power brakes, ipod jacks and Sat radio cool as crap if you ask me. This is really lazy one touch power windows, one touch and the window goes all the way down or up by itself. Give me some.;-).

i could live w/out power seats...
i looked at the cloth vs leather and honestly think the cloth seats in the 8 look nice.
i'd personally like a touring model...that has a sunroof, and virtually everythign you get on a GT minus the power/heated seats. for at least $1000 less.
10k off MSRP would be sweet. on a fully loaded touring model that would be like $21k..plus taxes/etc....

wellll... i think i got the deal of all deals with my car...
bought it 6 months ago.. it was a used 04 with only 6,000 miles on it.. for 21k ! it has a spoiler, basic interior, no sunroof, but had navigation in it somehow. seemed like it was a custom order back in the day or something and the guy never drove it.
