Well, went and wasted two hours today (most of that spent sitting at a table by myself waiting on the slower than dirt sales guy). The RST I originally wanted didn't have the Safety Package, which both I and the salesman, thought it did. We went and took an LTZ for a test ride instead. Sticker was $58,xxx, they were willing to give $8,000 off without lease loyalty. They then added back almost $3,000 worth of "accessories" (Cheap tint and nitrogen in the tires aren't accessories). They were willing to give $32,000 for my trade. Numbers just didn't work out to where I wanted to be.
I did decide I want an LTZ for sure. I was on the fence about the RST because of the deal, but I should have known that if I was having second thoughts, it probably wasn't right for me. The hunt continues... Maybe I will wait a few more months to see if the deals get better, or maybe I'll start looking at dealers out of state and see what they can do.
