I kinda lost my mind last night and signed for the $18295. '08 Sonata GL 5 speed.
The dealer of the city where I was for the day had the exact combination I like. Brand new '08, Indigo blue, manual transmission. Test drove the car, liked it and negotiated my trade. They offered only $9750. for my pristine condition '05 Corolla CE Pack C and I signed at 12K for it. My cost out the door is 9K.
I go pick it up tonight. Pictures shoud be forthcoming by tomorrow...
