Is this a good deal or should I continue to shop?

Is this a good offer based on northern New Jersey area... or should I continue to look around for a better deal?

(Just read a another NYT article today that 08 is going to be one of the worst car buying years in a long time due to tight car-loan credit.)

Any feedback would be appreciated, and of course once I make a deal, I will forward details on dealership...

$2100 off MSRP and $1500 over invoice? That's pretty good, actually.

Thank you for your response plien69. I think it is, but I am also aware that some are getting $500 over invoice. Also, this car is pretty much optioned out.

I concur. For NJ, that is a good deal. Make sure if this is a custom order that you get Priorty 1 and that you get them to give you a production # upon (or within a day or two of) agreeing on the deal

Seems like a very decent deal. (btw, fixed the orig post - few people like to open Word attachments for virus potential)

Thank you guys for your advice and help with the posting...I will let you know the final deal I cut!

Thats a good deal. I had to argue with 4 or 5 people for a little over an hour just to get $500 off. Around 2k off is great.

$500 is the lowest I could get off of mine too and my friend was the salesman. So $2K is great.
