OK....I'm looking at getting a third a car because my teenage daughter will be turning 16 soon. I have never purchased a car I wanted, and this next vehicle will be mine and the daughter can drive the minivan or the truck.

I want a convertible, and I've been looking at a few, but am mostly leaning toward a Mustang.

I found a new 2008 candy apple red Mustang convertible. MSRP is 28900. Dealer invoice is 22600. I've driven it, and i like it. I've been talking with their guy at the dealership for about 2 weeks, and their most recent offer is is 21650. I've offered 20600.

Negatives - two years depreciation as soon as I drive it off the lot rather than just one, only the V6, which was plenty powerful enough but certainly not a V8. Not the GT.

Positives - pretty, great sound system, really not a bad price being offered.

I think I'm going to email the guy and tell him that my final offer is 21000 and if he'll accept that then it's a go. If not, then if they haven't sold it in a few weeks maybe they will, as their 2010s are coming in soon.

Thoughts?
