Some of the best information on forums is the stuff that hurts to hear. We could all just feed your wishes and say, "of course 2013 models are cheap! that's last year! it's like a free car! dealers will literally give it away because it costs them money......."
I also traded in a 2009 Pontiac Solstice GXP for $12,000. But I was buying a $30,000 car. You buy a $50,000 car with an extra $5,000 in taxes and your $10k trade in barely covered the tax and fees (in Texas).
I am chiming in because I think about this stuff a ton. I hope to be helping talking about the points. I'm not trying to annoy and don't blame me for high prices/taxes.

Thank you but no thank you. I do not require your advice right now I can manage my finances quite nicely and have been doing so for years. If everyone went by your "rule" new car purchases in the United States would drop by a factor of 10. I know my financial situation and don't require your input on it. I simply want facts on peoples actual negotiated prices and stories of what they may have paid or offers that have been turned down at dealers. Nothing more. I am WELL aware of everything that goes into a car deal. Your 20% law does not relate to me, take my word for it and lets move on.
