| If a dealer does not have the Chev. Blazer that I want,does a search and finds it at another dealer, which dealer received the holdback? Can I subtract all of the holdback or just a portion of it from invoice to determine dealer cost? What kind of fees should I expect for the dealer going to pick up the Blazer? | |
| I would like to know where to find information on how well the 1998 Subaru Outback Limited is selling in northern Michigan. | |

Does anyone know where I can find information on carryover allowances or Dealer incentives on the 1997 Mazda 626? There is no information on the Edmunds site about Dealer incentives although they do have the info on the customer rebates ($1,500 for the '97 626). Thanks in advance... |

| I just visited a dealer and was given the invoice and the numbers matched the Edmunds numbers - and he offered to sell at the invoice price. So, that means they make the 3% holdback, right? Then on the trade - I used Edmund's figures on my 90 Accord EX manual trans. without ABS & leather but with everything else including a phone with 157,000 miles and came up with $2700 and he offered me $2000. He said in order to get my business he may be able to add some accessories but that's about it. I think we're $700 off, am I right? Going back tomorrow. | |
| Double check your figures using Microsoft's Carpoint or Intellichoice's Window Sticker + | |

I received a mailing from GM this weekend indicating that low interest rate financing is available on the Firebird (2.9, 3.9). This is missing from Edmunds' list??? |

I'm being told by my local Honda salesperson that there is no 2% holdback for Canada. Can anyone verify this? There certainly are holdbacks for the big 3. I'm rather skeptical of this claim. He also says that Honda works from a 7% margin, not 5%. Needless to say, I've already started looking for quotes elsewhere but am curious about the 2% holdback issue. BTW, adding 40% to U.S. MSRP for the CRV works out very close to the advertised CDN price. |

| I ordered a Dodge Ram in August, and it is FINALLY about to get here. I just heard an advertisement for $1000 cash back on 1998 Rams. Can I qualify for that? | |

To liang, Re: is this a good deal? Your calcultations seem correct. Keep in mind that dealers are more wiiling to deal especiallty towards the end of the year. Double check your figures and the car buying tips from Edmunds and if everything matches up, buy the car for the lower price. By the way, I bought a 97 Accord at invoice, basically 2.5%. They profited the dealer holdback but i was able to "pass" the destination and handling charge to them. Helps if you are informed. |

| Is it true, that the dealer inv. price for the base model of a 1/2 ton truck already includes the destination charges & adv. or FDAF assessment. If they add it on top of the dealer inv. price it is pure profit to them! | |
