Replying to: SophiaRose (Feb 04, 2009 9:58 am) Have you checked to see if he's telling the truth? While rebates change they usually do so at the beginning of the month. It's an old salesman's tactic to tell you the price is only good today so you feel a sense of urgency. Check with Chrysler (corporate not a dealer) to confirm that the rebate changed at the time the salesman said it did. If he was telling the truth I would go back to him when the rebates are more to your liking. If he was lying, avoid him like the plague. You can get some pretty good idea of current rebates here on Edmunds. Good luck. |

Hello, I received a letter in the mail from a local dealer for $7000 off the price for certain new vehicles. They indicated that their pricing is based on Edmunds so my question is, should I expect the $7000 off what edmunds is currently showing for the TMV price or is the $7000 already built into the TMV price? Thanks

Replying to: Luckyduck (Feb 19, 2009 1:40 pm)  When dealers (or any retailers) tell you your price is "$XX off" (discounted) it's ALWAYS vs highest reference price they can find - most of the time it's MSRP. Translation: the letter says "Edmunds TMV say it's $7000 off MSRP and we are offering it you" tax, tag, title, dealer fee, WAC, only on selected vehicles in stock

Replying to: dino001 (Feb 19, 2009 1:53 pm) My argument back to the dealership if they say the 7k is built into the TMV price is that TMV is based on vehicles sold, this "incentive" does not start until this weekend.

Replying to: Luckyduck (Feb 19, 2009 2:06 pm) the letter is meaningless. ifyou want to buy a car, do your research, pay market price. ignore all dealer advertising, pay attention to manufacturer offers only. -mathias

Replying to: steine13 (Feb 19, 2009 3:48 pm) You can probably figure out taht the dealer pads all the cars with enough cheap mop and glow and what have tiy to bring the price of the car 30% over MSRP. what you get is a car for list price that they pretend is a bargain. You'll find the same trick with different phrasing everywhere.

| I am thinking of purchasing a 2009 RAV4 in the next few days. There are no incentives and offers right now. When are offers released? Is there anyway to find out what they are before they are officially released? | |
 I am ready to purchase a 2009 Malibu. Tomorrow (March 2) is the last day for the current rebate which is $2750. Should I wait and will the rebates get better or worse? Please help! I need a new car and not sure if I should wait another couple of days to see what the new offers will be. Anyone know what they will do? |
