That price is incorrect, as it's for the GLS with a manual transmission
(it's actually $12,086 in my area), not for the GT with an auto. The
Carsdirect price for a base GT with a manual is $13,275. With an auto,
it's $14,080. A GT with a manual and a sunroof (Accessory group 7) is
$13,947.
When I factor in the mudguards and cargo tray I added and the slightly
higher rebate I got last year, the Carsdirect price comes out to $77
more than I paid for my '04 GT hatchback with the manual and sunroof
($13,725). I got this price without any significant haggling, but as
they say, "your mileage may vary".
