If you really want a speed3 that bad then just get it. These fegs are going to keep dropping the price goal you should shoot for and next thing you know your gonna try to get sub 20k for a brand new speed3. Dealer will only go so much before they will not try to work with you any more. How do I know? I have friends and family who are sales managers/car dealers so you can only haggle to much before they say take it or leave it.

Good luck

^^Thanks guys for all the info! I put my deposit down yesterday to reserve the car. It should be here Wed. Ended up at 22,497 +ttl. I don't think it;s the best deal I could have gotten but the experience was good and I will continue to drive their miatas in parades in future so it's worth it to me...Good news is I worked out a 20% tint on them before I drive away so woot!
