I do live in Utah, where winters can get pretty bad so that might have helped our dealership and, in turn, myself get the car at a lower price.

If you consider getting something used, manual transmission, and if you're patient, you'll find a good deal that falls below your price range. Looking out of state, especially somewhere that snows often during the winter, would definitely help too. Winter is coming soon and most dealers that have to deal with winter are more willing to negotiate on RWD cars.
This. Why buy new and lose a few grand right off the bat. The dealer where I got mine had a 2013 with less than 3k miles. They were asking like $23k for it, I'm sure it could have been had for close to $23k OTD. They had another with like 19k miles for like $19k.

I could not justify ever buying a new car unless I was drowning in cash and even then would only buy new if I HAD to have the latest model with very specific options that I would be unable to buy used.
