Is this too much to pay for the Matrix XR?

[JamesT]

Hi, Future new owner here!
Is this too much to pay for the Matrix:

2004 Matrix XR, Auto, ABS, 16" Alloy Wheels, Premium 3 in 1 Stereo, Extra Value Package #2 which includes16 in. x 6.5 in. Aluminum, Sunroof, Cruise Control, Front Driving Lamps, Front & Rear Underbody Spoiler), Carpet Floor Mats, Cargo mat.

I have a price of $17615 before TT&L. in California. Have any of you gotten a similar car cheaper? How much better should I try for? Thanks for this board and all the help!

Honestly I think you have done OK. I find Yahoo.com the best comparison site on the web.

That sounds about right. I just got mine 2 weeks ago exactly the same setup and paid about the same. I even check edmunds.com to see what the price i should pay for. It's all worth every penny. You'll love it!

i got the exact same setup for 17,200. if you're taking one off the lot, let em know you want the bottom price. if they have to bring it in from somewhere, expect to pay the extra few hundered.
