Xterrasesc,
I was suprised to find out what the dealer cost was too. But they didn't really mind dealing with me, I just went in educated, made a reasonable offer and they really couldn't say no.
As for enjoying the ride... Well I have to wait until April until my ride will finally be delivered. Because I wanted SE/SC with 5 spd I had to order in November to get it in April. At least that is their story. That is probably there way of getting back at me for having to give me the vehicle at invoice plus 5%. Anyway I really didn't want it until the spring anyway. Hope you get an X too. I drove a lot of vehicles and thought it was the best value for my dollar out there.
