I ordered mine today. I asked for the 2ss,silver,6spd manual with the rs package. They pretty much didn't know what they were doing,because they told me I couldn't get the rs with the ss. Now i have to call them back and straighten all this out. I only had to put 500 down for now. They also told me that they were only alloted 6 for now. Fortunate for me,I was number 6.

I went by the dealer today and had a chat with a sales guy about ordering...

interestingly, he knew that maybe they can take some orders but had NO IDEA on pricing, trim levels, options, etc. Funny, after mentioning this board and 5thgen, he said that I knew more about it then most of the sales guys there.

...so, with that, maybe I should go to another dealer?!


Oh, if I would order one know, I would probably do a SS 2SS, RS, Grey/Blk Strips, sunroof, carbon interior trim, and a two sets of tires... on for the burnout in the dealer parking lot and the other to take it home!

I am curious...for people that have ordered, how much are you paying for these cars? I assume you discussed what you will actually be paying for the car when it arrives, so how much over sticker are you getting yours for? Is anybody paying sticker?

My step dad is ordering a Black 2SS RS soon for MSRP. They said nothing down?

Didn't understand that, but whatever, it'll be the first one around here.
