Along the line of bbains (#21). In the LA region it is not uncommon to see cars advertised at what should be below invoice and hold back. For example, 98 Accord LX's advertised at 16 which is below dealer cost. I have noticed the same thing with some ford's selling at a price that should cost the dealer money. Is this an indicator of a regional promotion? If so, is it possible to get more info on these promotions? Or, could it just be that there are a lot of large dealers in the region and they don't pay invoice to begin with? |

I'm buying a '98 Ford Ranger which is due in on 1/12/98 from the factory. The current rebate for $750 expires 1/5/98. Any current word on an extension to that plan? Thanks. Kevin |

Would there be a reason that a dealer would tell me that the rebates and incentives for Dodge and Ford are not what is stated in edmunds' listing? Perhaps to sway me another way or does the listing change for the dealers more often than when the page is updated? Just curious. |

Shopping for 1997 Explorer, Edmunds lists a$1000 dealer incentive. My dealer says it does not exist. Is the incentive still applicable? |
|
| Does anyone have info on Ford's extension of Windstar rebates past Jan 5, 1998? Need to know real soon. | |
| I was at a Ford dealer today, and he said the Windstar rebate and financing was extended to 1/9/98. | |
| can I figure a holdback on a special ordered car? Are there other issues that I need to be aware of buying a custom order? | |

I realize that a buyer must pay certain dealer costs, such as 'transportation,' but why would I pay advertizing, dealer prep, and an administration fee? In the past, car buying guides advised not paying these types of add-ons, why are you (Edmunds) now saying to add these to the dealer invoice? Why should I have to pay a 79, 89, or 109 dollar administration fee? That's just another way for a dealer to get another 79, 89 or 109 dollars out of you. Dealers need to pay their employees who perform dealer prep duties, or administrative duties out of their profits, not charge me. Any advice or comments out there? |

| Hey glennt:do like I did,refuse to pay these 100% profit makers. If they tell you EVERYONE pays for these charges and they MUST be included on the sales contract your reply should be OK include them on my contract BUT FIRST DEDUCT the total from the sales price of my new vehicle. This negotiating tool always works for me Good luck! | |
| One comment, I don't think info is really up to date on incentives, this is why, the nissan customer rebate for maximas was 2250 but now has been transfered to the dealer, at least that is what they told me, and I haven't seen it anywhere in Edmunds. One question, does anyone know what the dealer incentive is for honda accords 97s, in CA? | |
