You cant just say you finalized a deal without telling us what that is!
Haha, if you don't mind... what kind of deal did you get?

OK. Red GT with compass/autodim mirror and wheel locks. No trade - cash deal. $24,765 MSRP and got it for $23,800 including all fees (doc fee, etc), temp tags, some throw in freebies(oil changes, free dinner, couple other things), etc. Pretty good deal I think.

That price did not include sales tax but everything else.
It was from Northtowne Mazda in KC.

Comparing deals with sales tax is apples and oranges in my opinion, at least with the way the laws are in Missouri. If I have a trade-in, I would only pay sales tax on the difference but if I pay cash I would pay sales tax on the whole amount. The amount of the sales tax could be considerably different but really doesn't change the deal from the dealer. If I pay cash for a car and pay sales tax on the whole amount and then later sell one of my other vehicles, I can then make a claim for sales tax reimbursement and get a check back from the State. This makes it work as if I had traded the car in and only paid sales tax on the difference but it doesn't change the deal I had with the dealer.
Also, differing sales tax rates could make a big difference. If I buy in an area that has a very low sales tax rate and my total outlay is less than someone else's, does that mean the dealer gave me a better deal? Not necessarily as I might have actually paid more for the car but a little less after sales tax. In that situation, I actually got a worse deal from the dealer.

LOL. Definitely not the greatest deal of all time but not too bad.
