Default Should I go for this or naw?

I went to the dealership yesterday and they have a 2005 Salsa Red Pearl colored xB with 30,000 miles. The sticker was $16xxx and the guy said he'd take several thousands off... we went back to the cubicle to talk about numbers and after going back and forth... i told him i wanted to pay $12,000 out of the door and then we replied okay $12,000 plus fees and license so that tells me the final price is $13,200

Is that a good price? should I get it or naw?

and how much did you pay for yours (out of the door price), model and year?

yea im gonna say thats a pretty fair deal. i mean once you get it so low do you really want to loose it for an extra $1k, its already a pretty good deal...y do you want a BOX when you have an evo?

I need a daily driver and the Evo is not the a good daily driver, in addition to that it requires premium fuel and am trying to keep the mileage low because maintenance is up the roof

The xB seems to be the most ideal daily driver for me. I love the low stance and the rare design, plus there are few threads about consumers getting 350 and even more than 400 miles a tank, and that is freaking amazing if you know what i mean i only get 200 miles per tank on my Evo.

I'm only getting positive reviews. Now I just have to convince myself hehe

very good deal. i had the obx axle back and didnt like it at all if thats what you got. id like to have that clutch and short shifter. its next for me...

1200$ i take it your getting a warranty or something? or one of them horrible car care packages haha. a firend of mine got a tc and got that what a waste. plus hes getting raped at 19% interest due to his "Outstanding Cradit" lol

It may be BCP but either way that sounds like a great deal to me. The extra money is taxes and other stuff right? I'd jump on it cause the new ones are going fast. Do they have all the service records for it and you might want to do a carfax on it just to be safe.

I'd go for it... they're getting increasingly difficult to find. It's a fair price. If you're digging the color, then I would do it.

oh you know what else i forgot to tell you guys?

that car is certified. which means I still have the remaining warranty left. I don't know why the salesman told it was 6 years total and now when i go see http://cars.about.com/od/scion/fr/jf_05scionxb.htm

it shows 3 years basic and 5 years powertrain.

what a salesman lol oh wait he wasn't a salesguy he said he was the salesman manager.
