I did that with both dealer's I was looking at when purchasing. One gave me a precise OTD, one gave an estimate that was true. I'd avoid all dealers who won't give some real prices and real OTD info over the phone or email personally.

In fact, Hyundai dealerships are rather upfront and honest about it in print and in person.   But I agree that trying to get them to do away with it is a good idea, AFTER a final price is arrived at.   In all seriousness, if automakers and dealers need to achieve a set price on each vehicle, that's the real world, but having doc fees, destination fees, etc. is really annoying to consumers. The first auto company that does away with all the nagging, miscellaneous fees like those will get kudos from their customers.

Those are the types of guys you refer basically everyone you know to for buying a car. Unfortunately they're the few exceptions out there. I think if a company itself did that, the dealers would complain like crazy. Dealers need many tricks to make enough money...which screws the consumers, but keeps them profitable. Such is capitalism.

Replying to: moocow1 (Jun 05, 2008 12:34 am) Once again:   Forget about the doc fees. They're primarily profit devices to boost mainly walk ins for extra profit. Most are exhausted and threaten to walk but then don't. That explains 600 doc fees. Some payment buyers don't even notice it. You know how successful dealerships are in charging it (whatever it is) without excessive walk-outs by the fact that it is there.    Get bids from numerous dealers end of month inclusive of all fees. A bid of 20500 with a 600 fee beats a bid of 20700 with (read inclusive of) a 100 fee every time. Forget about negotiating it down individually. Due to the section of the law the fees fall under if they charge a 300 fee for one it may have to be consistent for all. Some actually have the forms pre-printed with the fee included. They can knock off 300 or so off the price easier . Get competitive bids from at least 10 dealers end of month for total cost with all fees or otd (with taxes).    Good luck --jjf Replies to this message: moocow1 (Jun 05, 2008 9:51 am)
#4863 of 6610 Any discount dealers near Louisville? by fountainpen108 Jun 05, 2008 (8:48 am)
moving from East coast car-less to Kentucky. While East coast dealers like Towne and Fitzmall offer 2000 below invoice pricing,internet corresponderance with Louisville area dealers is frustrating.None would quote prices on the internet. Typical Edmunds selling pricein Louisville is 1000 $ above same car configuration in the East Coast,which is also thousand dollars above Towne prices.Total:2 000 dollars above Towne or Fitzmall. Are there any discount dealers at or near Louisville.Am trying to get no-haggle pricing.Even the Costco and Samsclub dealers dont respond with $ dollars.
