So I'm down to an HCH (I got a quote for a couple hundred less from another dealer today), a new Corolla LE or Civic EX, or a used Corolla LE (2003 maybe?) or Civic EX (2001 maybe?). The problem I have with paying so close to the sticker price is the car is a 2004...it's already a year old. The depreciation of that first year alone tells me that I should be paying under $20K, if not at or below invoice. If I wait, I could probably get a new HCH when they hit the streets in October for around the same prices I'm being quoted right now. Don't you think? I don't know...I have to get back to work
I say if you want an HCH and are concerned about getting the ABSOLUTE best deal, wait for the 2005 models to hit the showroom and then buy the 2004 when they are clearing them out....at that point, they are basically forced to charge less for the 2004.....

Good Luck !!!
