Paid $33,000 out the door for a base SE with some small add-ons in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Checked every dealership in the region, compared a lot of packages and colors before negotiating.
Did you call or visit dealers in person? I’m also in DFW.

Only visited one place to test drive. Called the rest for quotes and negotiation.

And they were okay negotiating over the phone? Every time I try, they just tell me to come in.

All of them gave me quotes. I called with the stock number I was interested in, told them what another dealer offered, and they usually matched or beat it.

Did you ask for the out-the-door price or just a normal quote?

Always asked for OTD. Then kept negotiating dealer to dealer until nobody would go lower.

What did you say when they asked you to come in?

Told them I lived a bit far but was ready to buy if the price was right.

I had to pay the $1,000 dealer destination fee. I think it’s mandatory, but I could be wrong.
