Yeah, I just went to the dealer and they're looking for $22,XXX, plus a dealer fee of $500, so just under $23k before tax. We've also got insane sales tax here in Boulder. I need to talk to someone about financing... I realistically don't see paying more than $8k down, and would like payments under $200/m. I have no idea if thats realistic or not.

After seeing the car up close & personal, it does seem a bit cheap on the inside, but then again, its a civic... I don't really know what I'm expecting.

I wonder if I'm allowed to buy the car in a sales-tax-free state (like OR) and drive it back home? I somehow doubt they'd go for it.

I will say that the saleswoman talked straight to me and didn't give me any BS, which is a far cry from my recent experience at a Subaru dealership.
