Have been working with Dealer for over a week now. Like GT better but not sure what I should pay. Edmunds sets TMV in my area (BOISE, ID) for GLS (w/CC and single CD player) at $12,626 and the GT (w/Power Moonroof) at $14,255. I think both are TOO HIGH. It is nearly the end of the month and 2005 is just around the corner. The Dealer has 20+ GLS's and only 4 GT's so I'm sure he's more anxious to get rid of GLSs than the GTs. However, the GT I'm interested in has been on the lot for quite a while. I'm thinking I should offer $13,900 (after rebate and before tax, license, etc.) for the GT. Is that too much? Too little? HELP! ANY INPUT/IDEAS?? Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone. My friend just purchased a 02 Elantra GT 5-door fully loaded. The car is in excellent condition. Clean inside and out. I test drove it for about 10 minutes. It drives great. The car has 52,000 miles. The dealer wanted $11,995. She talked them down to $9750. With taxes and registration total is $10,439. What are some of the weaknesses of this vehicle? What should she keep an eye on? Thank you for your time. |

Replying to: johneh (Sep 19, 2004 8:21 pm) I'm sorry, but I never bought a new car, so I have no experience on which to base my opinions, but here goes: If Edmunds TMV for your area is $14,255 for the GT, then go in and offer them $13,500. Heck, offer them $13,000! The worst they could do is say no. Go with the GT if you can afford it. I wish I could have found a used GT (I love hatchbacks), but they were scarce, so I settled on an '02 GLS. Good luck!

Replying to: altsuv (Sep 22, 2004 7:25 am) That strategy gives you some room to "move up" to invoice and also provides the possibility that they'll go lower than invoice. They can still make money on a car at or a little below invoice due to holdback and factory-to-dealer incentives. The other thing I'd do is bring in a check for your offer (w/o tax and license). Put it on the table when you make your offer. It shows them you are serious and will buy the car RIGHT NOW if the price is right. You can always write another check for the full amount with tax and license or arrange financing through them, whichever works best.

That's awsome. FWIW, I think that's a pretty good price. Congrats & good luck with it!
