I would estimate that 99% of the people posting comments in the Prices Paid forum are from the United States.
 
Of the 1000's of comments I've read, maybe 5 have come from Canada, with none from any other country. How many posts have you read that give OTD pricing in Dinars, Euros, or Pesos? My guess is none.
 
Therefore, your comment about the forum being used "by people all across the world" is extreme, silly, and irrelevent.
 
How could you possibly say that OTD price is the most accurate pricing method? My example clearly shows that OTD pricing can be EXTREMELY different depending on which part of the country you are in.
 
You think my example is silly...check out the links below.
http://thestc.com/STRates.stm
http://www.taxadmin.org/FTA/rate/sales.html
 
The highest combined city/state sales tax rate is 9.4%. The lowest is 0.0%. That is a difference of $1880 on a $20,000 car. OTD doesn't seem very accurate to me.
 
I hope you're job doesn't involve accuracy, statistics & numbers!

Completely agree. We really need the pre-tax price. OTD doesn't make sense with all the different tax rates; doc fees; licence fees et al.

I agree matt, OTD prices are not real helpful when comparing a deal. I prefer to know what someone got the car for before discounting for rebates etc and what the MSRP was on that deal, everyone will qualify for different rebates, currently everyone 2500(v6), 500(military) and 500 loyalty and I think a 400 college. Kind of like post #2082, Stated MSRP of 21495-dealer discount of 2495, tells me what I want to know, he got the car for 19K then I can take the rebates off that apply to me, and like you said fees and taxes different everywhere.

Anybody buying the GLS 4 cylinder version these days? What are these going for? (I'm in the middle of putting together some offers for an '06 GLS 4 cyl and would appreciate any tips or cost data!)
 
Thank you!

I think its good if you are gonna list everything, but most wont do that, so to me just knowing the MSRP of car you bought and the price you haggled to get would be fine with me. I cant figure how you figure you were 18700 OTD though. If Im reading it right you agreed to 22,793.11 with MSRP of 24,895= dealer discount of 2101.89,so 6.50+599.50+99+629.89+50+150+2-92=1444.89, then you had 2000 rebate So 22,793.11-2000=20793.11 + 1444.89=22,238
 
$22,238 OTD?
 
How did u come up with 18700?

I bought my GLS 4 cyl last November for about 15400 after $1500 in rebates. Thats the price before all other taxes and fees. I agree that is the way to list prices here. It gives a real world basis to make your deal since every state and country vary so much on fees and taxes. Make offers threw the internet to several dealer after you've decided what a far price is. That method works very well and is low key, no pressure. Good luck

Simple way to size up my deal Tommy by miamixt

I posted this before but my deal only involved two factors:
 
1)Traded in an 05 Elantra for $9500
2)Issued a Cashiers Check for $9300 with a $100 refund
 
The whole idea of sharing prices here is as a community. Not exactly what price you will find in your community.
 
Yes it's true a few States have low or no Sales Tax. And 6 States have no Income tax. But it all evens out, really!. For example I will save about $8000 on State Income tax this Year living in Florida. And if I lived in a no sales tax State, I would have saved Matt's $1800 figure on my Sonata, yet paid the $8000 Income tax.

It helps to separate out the rebates as you and many other posters have done, so then we know the negotiated price (after discounting by the dealer), the rebates, and any add-ons like taxes, license, doc fees, extended warranty etc.
