ive seen a 04 black coupe manual loaded at a local dealership for 28995+ whatever fees...i wanna be around $28,000 OTD

 

I just bought my car so hopefully this will help you:

2005 coupe with 6500 miles, premium package, mud guards and spoiler for 30k

 

I guess it would depend on the miles.

 

it has about 18,000 miles...

 

Sounds almost exactly like mine bro. Except I got an 2004.5 G35X w/ 18k on it. I payed $27k for it. I have no regrets. Just remember, if you have trade in, DO NOT TELL THEM AT ALL! Then when they give you their lowest, then tell them, and they will try and rape ya for the trade in. Then what you do is give them a magic number such as, lets say, $27k (they wanted $28,600) and tell them to make up the other $1600 between trade in and the price of the car. You will win my friend, you will win.

They ended up giving me around $6k for my Legacy GT (had a crap load of miles on it) Ended up doing $23k cash. Their original asking price was $30k.
