That depends. What was the MSRP before the dealer added all
those high priced low cost, and smoke an mirrors options? I
would suggest you add together all the money you gave the dealer
and the total of your payment to find the amount you actually
paid for that car. My one son just bought a 2003 vehicle. When
he shopped a top of the line Camry the selling price he
negotiated was $1,500 less than for the top line Accord
negotiated price, but the total drive home price for the Camry
was $1,200 more. He bought a Mercury Sable because the total
drive home price was $8,400 LESS than the Accord. You have to
add in the interest, government fees, dealer fees, dealer options
etc. to the negotiated price to get the true cost, before you
buy.
