"   Yes, but only within a given state. That's why you ask for it itemized penny by penny before you walk into the dealership to make sure you can compare accross dealerships. When I was working my deal, I found out (just like you did by backing out the numbers), that the OTD was being figured on a price that was $100 higher than the quoted price. It was an honest mistake, but we fixed it.   Also, doc fees can vary from dealer to dealer - some states regultae the fee and it is fixed at a certain amount. Again, that's why you get it itemized, penny by penny.   You were 100% right to demand an OTD price over the phone or email.   And in this market, don't pay extra for the dealer installed accessories that are already on the car.

You're better off selling it yourself and getting a rental for a week while you negotiate on the new car. I bet you'll save at least $1500 if you did that.   Anytime you trade in you're leaving thousands of dollars on the table.

#20564 of 24350 Re: Better incentive in October? [zgeist] by joebert Sep 25, 2008 (12:58 pm)
Replying to: zgeist (Sep 25, 2008 11:25 am) Drawback on waiting is a smaller selection, and it is possible the incentives are not as good in October. However, there is nothing in the economy that is suggesting things are going to get better for a while. Prices will stay down, especially while inventory is up. Honda, Dodge, & Chrysler all seem to still have significant inventory right now. I'm not sure on Nissan or Toyota or the others.

Replying to: zgeist (Sep 25, 2008 11:25 am) I actually thought the same thing. It does seem like folks are wanting to wait until October just to see (I wanted to), but I have also seen on other forums, here and actually the inventory at the dealerships slowly being bought up. There are still a number of 08s out there, but if you have a particular color in mind you might want to jump on it.   Hopefully I am not shooting myself in the foot here, but I started becoming unsure of waiting for "better" incentives. I didn't jump on the Nissan deal that ended this month and lost out on 10,500 off sticker price. Of course there aren't that many 08 Quests out there like odys, but I just don't want to take that chance. A few hundred bucks either way isn't going to kill me.   The dealership that I am dealing with is basically giving me "dealer cash" of 2,500 on top of the 3,500, but quite frankly, I just see this as they are starting with invoice, and the 3,500 is coming off of that. No where on my buyer's agreement do I see 2,500 dealer cash. I am pulling the trigger tonight.   I have been scouring this and all other forums for months. I am tired and I just need to commit.

Replying to: jhgrove3 (Sep 25, 2008 2:54 am) Thanks for the definition. Just so happens I was following this method, just didn't know it had a name.   Had two more Denver area dealers decline to go lower. Just not getting the prices I'm seeing in this forum on the coasts.

Replying to: phatlipboardz (Sep 24, 2008 6:45 am) Congrats. Appreciate you sharing your pricing. Overall, it's a good price for Denver area.
