I am looking to pick up a base 2.5s coupe w/ manual transmission and I was wondering whats the total price(tax, other fees, etc) you gotta pay to leave the dealer?

Nobody can give you a concrete, fixed amount. It varies because each dealer and buyer is different. Some can negotiate better than others. What you can do is search the internet to find a ballpark figure for what people are paying. You can also custom build the car and find the invoice price. Some people are buying the coupe @ close to invoice. Others are buying above MSRP with additional dealer markup. It all depends on the dealer/salespeople/dealer inventory. I would suggest visiting your local dealer and engaging in a conversation with them. You can visit several dealers and compare prices. Basically, I wouldn't recommend paying over MSRP, especially since the car has already been on the market for a couple of months. Speaking of markets...this is pure economics - supply & demand.

Invoice with no options is19,923, MSRP is 21,205...average price paid is 21,060...that includes destination charges (625) never pay that if you get it on the lot, there is absolutly no reason to pay that as the car was going to be there regardless...I personally won't even talk to a dealer that wants destination charges ...anyway you'll still have to pay 7.25% crappyfornia sales tax as well

Actually, the tax on cars can get up to 10%.
