I was actually shopping around for that exact thing for my brother in November. (He ended up getting a 2015 BMW 320i.) The automatics are harder to come by, but you could probably get it for $27-28k. At the time, I was looking at inventories between Santa Barbara and San Diego, and I think only one had that in stock.

If I were you get pre-approved first at your credit union or bank. Since the price varies in every state or area of the state it's hard to suggest a good price. Also each car may have accessories added to them. Check out the the website of the dealerships. I was offered invoice price at one of the dealership in my area. You will get a better price if you're paying cash. Getting pre-approved first (not at the dealership) basically means you're paying the dealership cash/check.

Let me ask, why an auto?

Get a stick. If you don't know how to drive a stick, this is the perfect time to learn.

Probably because s/he doesn't want to clutch it thru LA traffic which is more than reasonable IMO especially if this is going to be your daily. if this is gonna be a secondary, then you should check out getting a stick. some dealerships will throw you in one of their other cars and show you how to drive a stick if you don't know how. At least in Texas they do :p

Haha...if the wife asks to get the auto so that they can drive it, don't fall for that. That happened to the last car I bought and she drove it maybe three times in 4 years.

^ Personally, I'd rather not risk it. I'm already terrified enough of how my girlfriend drives an automatic. Maybe the OP is in the same boat haha.

The problem with that 1% is that many of them automatically think that they are a better driver than you because they know how to drive stick.
