Franklin, some things to keep in mind. MACO varies from region to region, it can be anywhere from 250-400. Destination and training fee are exactly how I listed them. Now be suspicious of what they call "doc" fee. If a dealer gives you the 500 over invoice, he might try to make up some profit elsewhere and doc fee gouging is a common tactic. Reasonable doc fees are 50-80. Some guy on the fest forums got the "invoice+500" deal, but later learned when he got the build sheet with the numbers that the dealer tagged on a 499 doc fee. That's another 400-450 extra profit for the dealer.

You might have to call 4-5 dealers, but great deals are out there. Dealer pricing is dynamic from week to week. A dealer that might give one person a legitimate invoice+500 deal when he has quite a few allocation slots, might be unwilling to even give a 1000-1500 deal when he has 1-2 allocation slots left. Call around, and look at the whole deal. Don't focus on a particular number, but what the total drive away price will be.

It's ultimately what you are comfortable with. There will always be people posting amazing deals etc on these forums, but don't get hung up on those. Find a deal that you can live with, without regrets, so that you can start enjoying your vehicle when it comes in.
