It seems like everyone in the area charges some sort of a 'market adjustment'. Other than for high demand cars like the S2000, they aren't really serious about it. Personally, I find the practice to be repugnant.

Wow...that's a great price for an EX V6. How'd you buy if from? Did you negotiate yourself, or go thru a broker?
#45 of 16377 DEALER INCENTIVE &/OR SPECIAL FINANCING by kbynot Jan 20, 2001 (6:54 pm)
FROM THIS WEBSITE I DISCOVERED THERE IS A CURRENT DEALER INCENTIVE ON 2001 9.3 SAAB. FROM THE DEALERS ADVERTISING I KNOW SAAB IS ALSO OFFERING 2.9% FINANCING ON THE 2001'S. THE SALESPERSON TELLS ME IT'S AN EITHER/OR PROPOSITION.....IS THIS TRUE ? OR SHOULD I BE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE A GOOD CHUNK OF THE DEALER INCENTIVE AND GET MY CONSUMER FINANCING DEAL ? THANKS

WHY DON'T YOU ASK TO SPEAK TO HIS MANAGER?   IT COULD JUST BE A "SAAB" STORY!

Kbynot, the person that you spoke with at this dealership was telling you the truth. The Dealer Cash that Saab currently has available on the 2001 9-3 may not be used in conjunction with any promotional lease or finance contracts. It would be way too expensive for Saab to allow consumers to combine finance rates as low as 2.9% with thousands of dollars in cash.   Car_Man Host Smart Shoppers / FWI Message Boards

Please excuse me if this has been asked before.   We ordered a common, saleable version of an import car, and the mfg hasn't filled the order yet (No VIN, the car is not in port.)   Circumstances have changed, and I need to move on a purchase. Found the car at another dealer, who won't trade with dealer #1.   Is it fair to ask for my deposit back? Again, the car has not been allocated to dealer #1 yet.

Alot depends on the dealer. I would talk to the manager and explain your situation...If the car isnt that uncommon they should be able to get one somewhere.   Rich

I don't know where you live but, in PA deposits are refundable up until the day you actually leave with the car. So hey you gotta do what you gotta do. If you need the car right now and someone else has it go ahead and ask for your money back.

I posted this question in "Leasing questions" topic at FWI, but I thought I would get a dealer's perspective as well, since you guys deal with finance companies all day long.   I have a car on lease, through the financial arm of the manufacturer. Recently I moved to another state and the local dmv requested some documents(titles etc.) from the finance company, so that the registration could be transferred to this state.   The problem is, the finance company does not seem to be interested. I always get the answer that the original title has been lost and a duplicate has been applied for. This is going on for three months now. I have spoken to supervisors and I get the same canned answer.   Do I have any rights at all in this situation? How can I gently but firmly pursuade them to act? Thanks

This is a tough one. Duplicate titles can often take 6-8 weeks in many states but three months is getting out of hand. I would ask for the supervisors boss and keep going up the food chain until you get results. Make sure you get names and extentions also.....This type of thing shouldnt be happening without a better explination. Also, does your lease contract say anything specific about this? Also, who is the lease source??   Rich
