Are all the insults, and all this anger against a dealership that is in business to make money, really necessary?
 
I won't bore you or others here with my resume, but I will give you this one little piece of advice, then I wish you best of luck in finding the World's Best Deal on a Sonata: take the emotion out of it. And try treating people, including car dealers, more civilly, and I think you'll find the car-buying experience more pleasant. Just because someone isn't willing to sell a car to you for way under their cost doesn't necessarily mean they are preying on you.

Wow, here I thought I was getting a good deal until reading many posts with much lower prices. I have a few price quotes from the same dealer, and I have no idea if I am getting ripped off or not.
 
I have a 2001 dodge stratus es that is extremely beat up with 73,000 miles.
 
I could have got my sonota automatic gls with the premier package for $17,800 which includes the $2000 rebate, so there would be no zero percent financing. They offered me $4 K for my car which would have brougt the financing down to $13,500 (with the trade in tax) over four years.
 
When it's all said and done, I can get the car for $325 per month over for years at a 6.9 interest rate with leather seats installed. That price is my trade in. Any advice would b e appreciated on how much I should pay. BTW sales tax is 9 percent in chicago.

Well - it looks like some people have crossed over from the "Sales Stories" board.
 
We all know as it gets in to the end of the model year - it is very conceivable to by a car below invoice. The manufacturers give allowances both on a per - unit and total sales volume. This is common knowledge and I am not a car sales person.
 
While a deal like this will turn out out be a "skinny" for a sales person, it won't make the "Sales Stories" board either.
 
But if both parties know what the numbers are, it (the deal) can be wrapped up in a very short time!

Sounds like a great deal. It could be a good fit for my daughter. Do you mind disclose the dealer you dealled with? (Hope it is near Houston area. ) Thanks.

I would consider you review Backy's over 11,000 posts on Edmunds.com forums. He is one of the most informed, and objective, posters in these forums, especially when it comes to buying or leasing a vehicle.

The best time period - bar none - to buy a new car is the last two weeks of December, especially the week between Christmas and New Years day. Not only is there practically no foot traffic in showrooms due to everyone blowing their budget for Christmas, the dealer is trying to make their month-end and year-end sales quota. An absolute super time to buy a new car, regardless of make.

1) Dealerships are free to price their vehicles however they want. You are free to pay it, offer less, go somewhere else, etc, etc.. Unless the dealer is dishonest in his dealings, that isn't predatory, or even unethical. If the customer decides the offer is non-competitive, they can vote with their feet.
 
2) Someone that disagrees with your point of view does not have to be a salesperson or a dealership employee. They also don't deserve to be berated about their opinions. If you disagree, that's fine, but personal comments are not welcome on this board.
 
Now, back to Prices Paid, or I'll have to get out the big stick..

Some dealerships tactics are unethical. Very confusing and misleading. There needs to be some reforms to protect the consumer.

When you run across unethical behavior by someone at a dealership, report it, e.g. to your state's attorney general and/or the Better Business Bureau (most dealers are members). And also to the manufacturer, which can put big penalties on misbehaving dealers.
