Hey baseballmom97. The fact that there is dealer cash available on the model that you are interested in definitely helps your bargaining position, especially if the salesperson that you are working with volunteered this information. Essentially the fact that there is $2,000 dealer cash on this truck in your area right now means that the dealership that you are working with could sell it to you for invoice and still make $2,000. I personally am not all that familiar with what the market is like for this truck in your neck of the woods, but I would think that taking this incentive into account you may be able to purchase an '04 Sequoia for $1,000 or so under invoice. You may want to stop by the following discussion to see what other community members have paid for similar trucks lately: "Toyota Sequoia: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".

Here is a site where you can request a $500 email certificate good for the Pontiac G6. http://www.pontiac.com/wildestdreams/index.jsp?cmp=oprah |

Car man: I was looking to track it, sort of like a stock to see trends. However, after a 2nd thought, I'm not sure that it would be helpful. I also was trying to determine how incentives are timed. I was surprised based on the dismal GM sales for November that most of the GMAC bonus cash disappeared. I was interested to see how long it took to add an incentive back. Earlier I told you that I was going to roll the dice and it looks like I lost. If GM doesn't add anything in the next couple of days, I don't see how effective it could be for the rest of December with the holidays fast approaching. |

Hello all, ive been reading this wonderful resource of information for over a week now and I would like to ask a few questions that I can't seem to find the answer anywhere else. I currently own a 2004 grand prix, and I need a car that gives me less monthly payments and less gasoline consumption I looked at the Vibe and with the rebates it seems like a very good offer, although I don't understand the details of the rebates I think I qualify for a few of them. However when I asked the local dealer for price he quoted me at 27k for a vibe GT, how is that possible? I know cars are more expensive in Puerto rico because of the 6.6% tax that applies to them, but 7k more? Do you know why is it this expensive? and if possible can you give me more information on the rebates? |

Replying to: marciz02 (Dec 02, 2004 11:59 am) I was actually at an Auto Nation/Power store last weekend. I was going for a lease special so I figured they would try and rip (AKA steal) my trade. Further, I have been to their stores in the past and their finance departments don't have the best reputations. They did exactly how I predicted. One thing to watch out for on a trade is if they book your trade wrong. What I mean is that on the print out of your trade that gives them the wholesale trade value they will not add all of the equipment the vehicle has. They will then show you the print out to try and convince you the trade is not worth as much as you think it is. They did this to me and I caught it. The value was about $1500 less than it should since they left out leather, heated seats and harman kardon sound. I called a friend at another dealership who gave me the right book. |

Hi Car_Man, thank you for you advice to offer $1000 under invoice on the Sequoia. I did this but then the dealer told me that his invoice cost (which I actually have a print-out of) was $1200 over Edmund's price. So anyway, I either got the truck for $300 under Edmunds invoice or $1500 under the dealer invoice according to whichever is right. Is there a reason for the discrepancy in the Edmunds invoice and the invoice listed on the dealer's Vehicle Locator print-out sheet? I am still happy that I got the SUV I wanted for under invoice but just wondering how well I did! Thanks again!

Replying to: Car_man (Dec 03, 2004 4:38 am) Just to confirm...the $4000 rebate on the '05 Malibu Maxx does apply to the North Central region. I'm asking because it's not listed in Edmunds rebate section(as well as several other web sites), but perhaps they haven't been updated yet. Thanks again! |

| Anyone know what Dec BMW incentives look like on the 2004 X3's? The 1.9% APR and lease deal (.0007 on 3.0l and .0009 MF on 2.5l) expired at end of Nov, but nothing is posted yet and the dealers are still stuck with piles of the 2004's. | |
