i used to wait until they were old and available cheap with, like, a blown up engine. But, now i'm 52 and if i like it, i might as well buy it now while i still have a pulse

People are buying for invoice +$500 all over the place. I haven't seen any real evidence of widespread markups at dealers.

I have the X Plan too, and if you work hard enough on a Dealer you can get a better deal than the X plan. I found this out AFTER I purchased my 02, you pay a percentage over the A plan, plus they charge you $150 for using the plan. I figured out that after you add the dealer holdback plus what they got on the car was close to $1000 and you should be able to make a deal where they make between $250 to $500 profit.

The dealer just up the block has a 3000 dollar murkup on a bare bones silver GT 5-speed..I stopped in to take a peak at it and started laughing out loud when I saw that mark up(I get Z plan).The salesman on the lot heard me laugh and asked me what was so funny..I said the markup on this car and the sap that will pay it..He said they could have sold that car 4 times in the first day,but that mark up just pisses peolple off..I said I will just wait 3 months when there are thousands on the road.Or order one Z plan when the verts come out.He said good choice.
