Is this a good deal for a fresh grad?

You’re asking the dealer how much they want you to pay. Bad idea. You may want to read this…

Looks like the so-called dealer discount of 8200 includes your grad rebate and, perhaps, other rebates. Separate them. Research selling prices in your local market so you’ll know an appropriate dealer discount. I manually performed all dealer calculations, including the CCR, and they are all spot on. Also, you need to confirm the MF with 10 MSD’s.

??? Let me know.
